Key Initiatives
The Snæfellsjökull fyrir forseta campaign is distinguished by its ecocentric approach to governance and advocacy for the recognition of the rights of nature.

Ecocentric Presidency: Snæfellsjökull envisions an ecocentric presidency that places the well-being of the environment at the forefront of decision-making.

Rights of Nature: The presidential campaign for Snæfellsjökull introduces the concept of the Rights of Nature into societal consciousness and government policy consideration in Iceland. These legal precedents underscore the rights of more-than-human bodies, coupled with a respect for ecosystems as having their own inherent value beyond what resources they offer humans. These policy adoptions also propose a necessary re-evaluation of natural resource management, calling especially into question the role of anthropocentrism in policy creation

Campaign Slogan
