Cardinal Turkson is the Pope's top advisor on integral human development and is helping shape the newly launched Laudato Si' Challenge - an initiative to seed fund and accelerate entrepreneurs building companies that change the world. Doherty: With the Laudato Si Challenge, why did the Vatican decide that they wanted to put their weight behind it? That's how the Laudato Si' Challenge was born. Turkson: The Laudato Si' Challenge is developed, but I'll be frank with you, there's still much more ahead of it to overcome. The objective of the Laudato Si' Challenge is to deal with the challenges at the level of the poor but also at the top.
