[[File:Logo.png|left|link=|alt=IMAGE logo]]IMAGE is an Integrated Model to Assess the Global Environment.
 
The IMAGE model has been developed by the [[Colophon|IMAGE team]] under the authority of PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency.
*[[What's new in 3.0]]
 
===What is IMAGE?===
IMAGE is an ecological-environmental model framework that simulates the environmental consequences of human activities worldwide. It represents interactions between society, the biosphere and the climate system to assess sustainability issues such as climate change, biodiversity and human well-being. The objective of the IMAGE model (version {{#show:IMAGEversion |?HasCurrentVersion}}, released in 2014) is to explore the long-term dynamics and impacts of global changes that result from interacting demographic, technological, economic, social, cultural and political factors.

* [[IMAGE framework summary|Framework summary]] of drivers, models, impacts and policy responses.
''Policy-related pages:''
*[[Climate policy]], [[Air pollution and energy policies]] and [[Land and biodiversity policies]] comprise the policy response components.
* [[Policy_interventions_overview|Policy interventions overview]] provides access to the ''Policy issues'' pages of the models.
*[[Applications|Projects/applications overview]] links to projects in which the IMAGE framework has been applied.
''Model-related pages:''
* [[Framework_overview|Framework overview]] links to all components (e.g. drivers, core models, impact models and policy responses).
* [[Dataflow overview|Data flow overview]] links to the input/output and models
''Assessment-related pages:''

===Availability of data results ===
* The [[Download]] page explains how to download and use the User Support System (USS) for IMAGE scenarios. USS is a viewer showing the scenario indicators (>200) of a number of projects.
* At IIASA ([http://tntcat.iiasa.ac.at/RcpDb/dsd?Action=htmlpage&page=welcome RCP Database (version 2.0)]) the IMAGE scenario results are part of the model set. At this website many indicators can be viewed and compared.
 
===Availability of models===
Most of the models. currently, are not available as downloadable software. They are too complex and require expert use.
 
===The IMAGE 3.0 book===
The contents of this website originates from the [http://www.pbl.nl/en/publications/integrated-assessment-of-global-environmental-change-with-IMAGE-3.0 IMAGE 3.0 book]. The website extends and actualises all information on the IMAGE framework.
