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.

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 - Population user support system
Phoenix simuleert bevolkingsdynamiek om inzicht te verschaffen in ontwikkelingen van de belangrijkste determinanten van toekomstige bevolkingsomvang en structuur. Een demografisch module vormt de kern van het model. Daarnaast is er een fertiliteitsmodule voor het simuleren van geboorten en een mortaliteitsmodule voor leeftijdsspecifieke sterfte. De onderliggende determinanten worden gerelateerd aan sociaaleconomische en milieu-georiënteerde factoren.
