derfor trenger vi et fossilt reklameforbud

The author advocates for a ban on fossil fuel advertising in Norway to protect public health and support climate policy, noting that over 50 cities globally have already adopted such measures. The text argues that advertising normalizes fossil fuel use and that public health and environmental interests outweigh commercial advertising rights, as demonstrated in legal cases in The Hague.

• The author compares fossil fuel advertising to tobacco advertising, noting that Norway's 1975 tobacco advertising ban helped reduce cigarette consumption by 60% between 1975 and 2020.
• More than 50 cities and municipalities worldwide have implemented bans on fossil fuel advertising, including Stockholm, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, and The Hague.
• In The Hague, a court ruled that public health and environmental interests take precedence over the commercial advertising interests of companies like TUI, which had argued that the ban violated freedom of expression and business operations.
• The UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has stated that all countries should introduce bans on fossil fuel advertising as a critical component of climate policy to prevent the normalization of burning fossil energy.
• In Norway, the oil company Equinor spent 833 million NOK on sponsorships over the last five years to maintain social acceptance.
