Border and Environment

This volume is the compilation of the papers submitted by scholars who presented at the international conference co-hosted by the Korea Environment Institute (KEI) and the HK+ National Strategies Research Project Agency in Center for International Area Studies at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies, titled “Border and Environment: Supra-National Cooperation and Communication for Reaching Carbon Neutrality,” held in Seoul, South Korea in November 12, 2021. Amid the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the conference was devoted to the critical issue of addressing climate change in the Korean Peninsula with the special focus on how to make possible cooperation between South Korea and North Korea beyond the inter-Korean border, or DMZ. The eight scholars, consisting of four Koreans, an American, a Chinese, a Russian, and a German residing in Japan, discussed various issues on border and environment as well as carbon neutrality. We sincerely hope that this volume would contribute to that effort toward the net-zero and carbon neutral Korean Peninsula.
