The IMAGE 3.0 book
The IMAGE 3.0 book is the origin of the content of this site. Here we extent and actualise the information on IMAGE framework.
Availability of data results from the framework
We publish a viewer that gives access to the resulting scenarios of some projects where we applied the IMAGE framework. See the Download page.
At IIASA [URL to database] IMAGE scenario results are part of the model set. At this site you can view and compare many indicators.
Availability of models
Most of the models are not available as downloadable software at the moment. They are too complex and rely on use by experts.
