Using the IMAGE model, the PBL study Rio+20 ([[PBL, 2012]]) assessed pathways to achieve ambitious global sustainability targets in 2050, including limiting climate change to 2 °C, stabilising biodiversity loss and providing full access to energy, water and food. The baseline scenario assessed possible development without major changes in current policies. Three alternative scenarios assessed possible routes to achieving the sustainability targets. The first scenario (Global Technology) was directed to achieving the target mainly through large-scale introduction of advanced technologies. The second scenario (Decentralised Solutions) assessed achieving the long-term targets by introducing small-scale technologies and emphasising local-scale solutions. The third scenario (Consumption Change) focused on the role of lifestyle changes in achieving the targets. In this chapter, the [[PBL, 2012|Rio+20]] study is used to illustrate potential assessments with IMAGE. | Using the IMAGE model, the PBL study Rio+20 ([[PBL, 2012]]) assessed pathways to achieve ambitious global sustainability targets in 2050, including limiting climate change to 2 °C, stabilising biodiversity loss and providing full access to energy, water and food.

In the consequent pages of the summary, the various components of the IMAGE system are described briefly, and in further detail in the Component pages. Results from the Rio+20 study (PBL, 2012, see above) and some other studies are used in this chapter to illustrate the main model output. | In the consequent pages of the summary, the various components of the IMAGE system are described briefly, and in further detail in the Component pages.
