Website:	http://www.iiasa.ac.at/web/home/resources/publications/IIASAMagazineOptions/ClimateChange.en.html
Application type:	1. Global integrated assessment
Role of IMAGE framework:	Building on the RCP work, integrated assessment models including IMAGE are being used in developing Shared Socio-Economic Reference Pathways (SSPs) together with the RCPs as the backbone of a new generation of scenarios for climate change research.
Summary:	Shared Socioeconomic Pathways (SSPs) define five possible paths that human societies could follow over the next century. The pathways are part of a new cooperative research framework that is expected to improve interdisciplinary analysis and assessment of climate change, its impacts, and the options societies have for mitigation and adaptation.

From there, assumptions are made about internally coherent sets of scenario drivers, and finally key model drivers such as population and GDP growth factors
