Young people mobilize on climate change

Hundreds of world leaders gathered in New York City for Climate Week to help brainstorm ways to slow down the climate crisis. But the loudest voices in the climate movement aren't typically leaders in business and government; they're young people.

Laura Beckman is a volunteer organizer with the New York City chapter of Sunrise Movement, Ryan Chen is a senior at Fordham University and a volunteer with the organization. They join WNYC's David Furst to discuss how the organization is working to mobilize young people on climate change.
