The Future Land

The newly established organization The Future Land held its fall conference at Hotel Nordica this weekend to a full house. The Future Land claims that the Icelandic Government needs to get out of the heavy industry plans it is stuck in for the future and instead help build a society where creativity, diversity and good living standards are at the forefront. The Government's discourse and action is no longer in accordance with the nation. That is why The Future Land will use its power to influence politics this winter and running for Parliament is a possibility.

Writer Andri Snær Magnason gave the first speech about a Iceland's future heavy industry plans, but he proclaims that the government's plans aim at turning Iceland into the biggest aluminium producers in the world, with a production of 1.600.000 tons of aluminium a year.

Members of the newly established organization count 2500 people to date.
