The Master Plan

for Nature Protection and Energy Utilization

The Icelandic Master Plan for Nature Protection and Energy utilization is a tool to reconcile the often competing interests of nature conservation and energy utilization on a national scale and at the earliest planning stages. The idea to create such a plan has been around since the 1980's but work on it didn't begin in earnest until 1999. The Master Plan is currently in its fourth phase, which is due to be completed in 2021.
