Evidence snapshot for Belgium
Belgium has implemented several initiatives to advance equity and inclusion. Belgium's 2011 Board Gender Quota Law mandated one-third of board seats for the under-represented gender, resulting in women's board representation rising from roughly 8% in 2008 to over 33% by 2020. At the municipal level, Leuven 2030 demonstrates a quadruple-helix governance model for climate action, growing from 60 founding members to over 600 partners and winning the €1 million European Capital of Innovation award in 2020. Digital accessibility has been advancing through AnySurfer, Belgium's national accessibility label, which has audited and publicly listed 60 websites against WCAG standards since 2001.
