After weeks of evidence, the inquest was adjourned on Thursday with NSW state coroner Teresa O'Sullivan expected to deliver her recommendations by the end of the year.
He noted that both Europe and Asia's challenges were increasingly intertwined, and referenced the Ukraine war again where North Korea has been aiding Russia's efforts with thousands of its troops.Macron said that in the past he had objected to the Western alliance Nato having a role in Asia, "because I don't want to be involved with someone else's strategic rivalry".
"But what's happening with North Korea being present alongside Russia on European soil is a big question for all of us," he said."So this is why if China doesn't want Nato involved in South-East Asia or Asia, they should prevent clearly [North Korea] from being engaged on European soil."Mathieu Duchatel, director of international studies at the Paris-based think tank Institut Montaigne, said Macron's comments on credibility had "implied criticism of the US's Middle East policy, and a direct call on the US to adjust its diplomacy towards Russia".
Observers agree China would likely be angered by Macron's speech, with Dr Duchatel noting the French leader's comments on Taiwan were "the furthest he has gone" on the issue.Some parts of Asia may welcome Macron's message on strategic autonomy given their anxieties about choosing between the US and China, said Andrew Small, senior fellow of the Asia-Pacific programme of Washington-based think tank GMF.
"His argument is that most of the rest of the world does not want to be stuck with this dichotomy and wants to hold together some version of global order - that's what a number of states in Asia would agree," he said.
Among several European and Asian states, Dr Small said, there was "genuine concern about how China will interpret a Russian victory" in Ukraine, while "the Trump administration takes a different view and is trying to make the case that there is no read across".The recycling of cooking oil is just one several projects running simultaneously at Sustenta.
The organisation is comprised of young people, all under 30 and averaging 23 years of age, and their youthful enthusiasm and impatience with established ways of doing things has been key to their approach."We started as a young group that was sick of the regular ways large institutions handle issues with climate change and the environment," Mr Pineda says.
"We want to create actual solutions and not sit around only talking about what could be done."Their strategy also differs from that of other young environmental organisations in the region, who often focus on a confrontational approach, trying to halt large mining or energy projects and holding politicians accountable for corruption.
