The IMAGE modelling framework forms an integrated assessment model (IAM) of global environmental change in interaction with human development. | The IMAGE modelling framework forms an integrated assessment model (IAM) of global environmental change in interaction with human development. In history, the IMAGE model has undergone various development periods – as indicated by different model versions. These periods often used the advice of the IMAGE Advisory Board to guide the direction of further development. The 'International review of IMAGE 3.0, Report of the 2014 IMAGE Advisory Board' ([[Hordijk et al., 2015]]) contains the latest evaluation. The IMAGE development strategy for the 2015-2020 period based on this report is described in the 'IMAGE strategy document' ([[Van Vuuren et al., 2015]]). | ||
Both documents are available as pdf: | |||

Basically, in the coming period we would like to extend the current position of the IMAGE framework providing an integrated view on trends that determine global environmental change (the [[drivers]]), the state of the global environment itself and the impact | |||
of future changes for the earth and human systems. In this context, the objectives for the modelling framework can be described, in generic terms, as: | of future changes for the earth and human systems.
