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.
When referring to MESSAGE-GLOBIOM 1.0 as described in this document, please use the following citations (Download :download:`ris </_static/message-globiom.ris>`, :download:`BibTeX </_static/message-globiom.bib>`):

The MESSAGE-GLOBIOM Integrated Assessment Model is based on the MESSAGEix framework, an open-source energy systems optimization modelling environment including macro-economic feedback using a stylized computable general equilibrium model.
