Gone are fossil fuels and meat ads. Ad boards in the Dutch capital now promote the Art, The Rijksmuseum, the national museum of the Netherlands, and a piano concert. Until last week it was chicken nuggets, SUVs and low-budget holidays.

Analysis Summary
Amsterdam banned public advertisements for meat products and fossil fuels, replacing them with cultural messaging from museums and arts organizations — making it the first capital city to implement such a restriction as part of its climate strategy. The change took effect in mid-May 2026 and reflects the city's effort to align public-facing advertising with environmental goals. Some far-right figures falsely claimed the ban was designed to appease Muslim populations, but Amsterdam officials have attributed it solely to climate action commitments.
