The Bill for an Act on the Icelandic Institute for Nature Conservation and Heritage establishes a new agency responsible for nature conservation, cultural heritage, and protected areas, including national parks. This agency consolidates functions previously managed by the Environment Agency of Iceland, the Cultural Heritage Agency of Iceland, Vatnajökull National Park, and Þingvellir National Park. The Act promotes efficient regional management and protection, aiming for streamlined administration, enhanced interdisciplinary collaboration, and improved public services starting January 1, 2025.
