The Global Integrated Sustainability Model ([[GISMO model]]) addresses (changes in) human development, including its distribution, improvement and continuation, as a result of changes in economic, social and environmental areas ([[Hilderink and Lucas, 2008]]). Among other things, the model quantifies human development in terms of access to food, water and energy, the Human Development Index ([[HasAcronym::HDI]]), Population Health measures (e.g. child mortality and life expectancy), and many indicators of the Millennium Development Goals ([[HasAcronym::MDG|MDGs]]). | The Global Integrated Sustainability Model ([[GISMO model]]) addresses (changes in) human development, including its distribution, improvement and continuation, as a result of changes in economic, social and environmental areas ([[Hilderink and Lucas, 2008]]).

Here we concentrate on those parts of GISMO that link directly to other parts of the main IMAGE model, namely climate-related health risks, health problems related to urban and indoor air pollution, and the effects of malnutrition. On all scales, from global UN processes to local initiatives, decision-makers are concerned with improving the standard of living and human development. The IMAGE framework provides valuable insights into key environmental factors that affect human development, and how these impacts may be reduced by improving the natural environment. | Here we concentrate on those parts of GISMO that link directly to other parts of the main IMAGE model, namely climate-related health risks, health problems related to urban and indoor air pollution, and the effects of malnutrition.
