Abstract

Despite the uncertainty in inter-Korean relations, the Yoon Seok-yeol government proposed a plan for inter-Korean cooperation utilizing the inter-Korean border areas, such as the North-South Green Détende. The Yoon administration's 110 national tasks include strengthening inter-Korean environmental cooperation, such as joint response to fine dust and natural disasters through the implementation of 'North-South green détente', and a plan to 'turn the border area into a green peace zone'
 With the emergence of the importance of human security in the 21st century, efforts are being made to appropriately integrate gender issues, environment and climate-related issues into the peace and security policy framework, and establish a peace system. The concept of comprehensive security can also be applied to inter-Korean relations. Since the DMZ, the border area between North and South Korea, is a space for peaceful use, research on inter-Korean cooperation in this area have to continue. Therefore, this paper examines discussions on ways to promote inter-Korean cooperation using the DMZ area and discusses sustainable North Korea policy measures that the Korean government should pursue, such as the ‘green détente’ policy using the North-South border area.
