First capital city banning advertisment on products linked to higher carbon emissions

Is this a small silver lining on the horizon? 

Amsterdam is the first capital city to ban advertisment on anything which results in higher carbon emission, e.g. directly fossil fuels and meat, but also products and services which lead to higher usage of fossil fuel, i.e. traveling, cars and airlines.

Amsterdam however is not the first town in The Netherlands going in this direction, Haarlem in 2022 and The Hague in 2025 already issued similar bans.

If you spend lots of tax money and have lots of policies trying to manage climate change in Amsterdam, why would you rent out your public walls to exactly the opposite?
