Alexandria Villaseñor discusses the political power of youth and talking to skeptics.

In our series "Planet Forward," CNN veteran journalist Frank Sesno speaks to 15-year-old climate activist Alexandria Villaseñor and young climate innovator Rohan Agrawal about the power of storytelling when it comes to sharing the urgent message of climate change. This is how young people are trying to make the climate crisis less of a bi-partisan debate and more of a humanitarian crisis.
