MESSAGE-GLOBIOM

These webpages document the IIASA Integrated Assessment Modeling (IAM) framework, also referred to as MESSAGE-GLOBIOM, owing to the fact that the energy model MESSAGE and the land use model GLOBIOM are its most important components. MESSAGE-GLOBIOM 1.0 was developed for the quantification of the so-called Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) which are the first application of the IAM framework.

This documentation is in part still under development and will be supplemented with additional information in certain sections.
