Models
This section overviews models developed and maintained at MNP-RIVM to address several questions on sustainable development by the scientific and policy community. These models are internationally accepted and published in many scientific journals.
- GISMO
The Global Integrated Sustainability MOdel (GISMO) is a modelling framework to analyze developments in Quality of Life in relation to the three sustainability domains: People-Planet-Profit. GISMO enables to analyze the effects of specific policies on broad human development, and the interaction with the environment.
- HYDE
HYDE (The History Database of the Global Environment) presents not only (gridded) time series for the last 300 years of global population and land use, but also various other indicators such as GDP, Value Added, Livestock, Private Consumption, GHG emissions, and Industrial production data.
- IMAGE: Integrated Model to Assess the Global Environment
IMAGE is a dynamic integrated assessment modeling framework for global change. The main objectives of IMAGE are to contribute to scientific understanding and support decision-making by quantifying the relative importance of major processes and interactions in the society-biosphere-climate system
- PHOENIX
PHOENIX plus provides a population user support system to explore, develop and analyze different demographic scenarios at various geographical aggregation levels (global, regional, national and grid-cells).
