This study presents a framework and strategy for cooperative development initiativesinspired by the concept of Green Détente in the border region between South and NorthKorea. While the inter-Korean border area faces significant constraints due to political andmilitary considerations, it also offers substantial potential for fostering peace andcollaboration. Grounded in the Yoon Suk-Yeol administration’s Green Détente policy, thisresearch aims to identify development projects that align with the region’s uniquecharacteristics and the evolving dynamics of inter-Korean relations, fostering incrementalgrowth. Focusing on the western border, the study advocates for the establishment of a“Carbon-Neutral and RE100-Compliant Industrial Complex,” designed to harness renewable energy as a platform for advancing industrial and environmental cooperation between the two Koreas. The findings provide valuable insights for shaping government policies on the border region and inter-Korean relations, laying a foundation for regional development through adaptable scenarios that respond to shifts in inter-Korean relations.
