Abstract
Zestien werelddekkende modellen worden in dit rapport
beschreven. Het rapport belicht de bruikbaarheid voor scenariostudies naar
milieu-aspecten van duurzame ontwikkeling. Onder meer is gelet op
verschillende vormen van integratie tussen de gemodelleerde processen. Ook
is gelet op de mate waarin rekening wordt gehouden met verschillen tussen de
wereldregio's. Geen enkel model blijkt ideaal. Maar een doordachte
combinatie van bestaande modellen met verhalende informatie kan de basis
verschaffen voor de ontwikkeling en evaluatie van mondiale
scenario's.
This report provides a survey of past and present integrated models that have been used for the generation and analysis of global scenarios. It examines the usefulness of the models for scenario studies on environmentally sustainable development. It does so by evaluating the models in terms of inter alia horizontal integration, vertical integration, and regional specificity. No single model is found to be 'ideal', but a judicious combination of currently existing models with narrative storylines can provide the basis for the development of global scenarios of environmentally sustainable development.
