Currently, impacts emerging from additional models do not influence the outcome of the model run directly. The results obtained can reveal unsustainable or otherwise undesirable impacts, and induce exploration of alternative model assumptions to alleviate the problem. As the alternative is implemented in the linked models, synergies and trade-offs against other indicators are revealed. | Currently, impacts emerging from additional models do not influence the outcome of the model run directly.

To apply IMAGE 3.0, all model settings are adjusted so that the model reproduces the state-of-the-world in 2005. The model calculates the state in 2005 over the period starting in 1970, using exogenous data to calibrate internal parameters. From 2005 onwards, a range of model drivers rooted in more generic narratives and scenario drivers must be prepared either by experts or teams at PBL or in partner institutes to provide inputs, such as population, economic projections and food production (see [[Scenario drivers]]. These steps are taken in consultation with stakeholders and sponsors of the studies, and with project partners. | To apply IMAGE 3.0, all model settings are adjusted so that the model reproduces the state-of-the-world in 2005.
