In Iceland, the National Youth Act no. 70/2007 states that local governments should actively pursue the foundation of local youth councils occupied by young people. These local youth councils do not have the capacity to affect national youth policy directly. Still, they can, through cooperation, usually in the form of meetings and conferences with local authorities and/or between themselves, impact local youth policies and influence the dialogue nationally.
