The IMAGE 3.0 core model comprises most processes in the Human system, the Earth system and their connectors Land cover/Land use and Emissions, and parts of the impacts (see Figure on the right). This core model consists of IMAGE/TIMER energy and IMAGE/Land & Climate. The latter also includes the LPJmL model, which is an essential component of any IMAGE model run, representing carbon, water, crop and vegetation dynamics.

The IMAGE 3.0 framework contains other models that are employed to generate impacts (such as, [[GLOBIO model|GLOBIO]], [[GLOFRIS model|GLOFRIS]] and [[GISMOmodel|GISMO]]), and models that describe parts of the Human system, such as agro-economic models ([[MAGNET model|MAGNET]] and [[IMPACT model|IMPACT]]) to project future agricultural production requirements. Furthermore, policy models, such as [[FAIR model|FAIR]], are used in exploring effectiveness, efficiency and equity of climate policy regimes, and to provide input on emission constraints and price signals arising from climate policy proposals.
