IMAGE framework is structured according to the causal chain of key global sustainability issues (see Figure 2.1). IMAGE comprises two main systems. The Human or socio-economic system describes the long-term development of human activities relevant for sustainable development. The Earth system describes changes in the natural environment. The two systems are linked by the impacts of human activities on the Earth system, and by the impacts of environmental change in the Earth system on the Human system. | IMAGE framework is structured according to the causal chain of key global sustainability issues (see Figure 2.1).

Below, the various components of the IMAGE system are described briefly, and in further detail in the subsequent chapters. Results from the Rio+20 study (PBL, 2012, see Box 2.1) and some other studies are used in this chapter to illustrate the main model output. | Below, the various components of the IMAGE system are described briefly, and in further detail in the subsequent chapters.
