Rapport van de derde sessie van de IMAGE Advisory
Board

Abstract
Het rapport bevat aanbevelingen en suggesties, die het
resultaat zijn van de derde vergadering van de IMAGE-2 Advisory Board.
IMAGE-2 is het global change model van het RIVM. De belangrijkste doelen
van de vergadering waren het bediscussieren en reviewen van de validiteit
van de bijna voltooide 2.2 versie van het IMAGE model en om advies uit te
brengen over vereiste en gewenste toekomstige ontwikkelingen met betrekking
tot de organisatie, wetenschap en toepassing van het IMAGE onderzoek. De
belangrijkste aanbevelingen en suggesties zijn: * IMAGE 2.2 en de afgeleide
tools zijn state-of-the-art instrumenten. Het model is koploper in de
integratie van energiegebruik, landgebruik, klimaat en effecten. Dit
voordeel zou geformaliseerd moeten worden door het schrijven van een Mission
Statement, gebaseerd op de doelstelling van de Framework Convention on
Climate Change (FCCC), * samenwerking met nationale en internationale
instituten, deelname in de internationale global-change
onderzoeksprogramma's en de bijdrage aan IPCC rapporten zijn belangrijke
redenen om het model verder te ontwikkelen en om de wetenschappelijke
acceptatie te vergroten, * het landbouw economie model moet sterk worden
ontwikkeld in de richting van een landgebruiks economie model wat alle
land-gebaseerde hulpbronnen beter integreert en waarin de koppelingen met
het energie-model TIMER en met WorldScan van het CPB worden verbeterd, *
klimaat variabiliteit zou meegenomen moeten worden in de impact berekeningen
van IMAGE, * land-klimaat interacties zijn belangrijk voor hoe het
toekomstige klimaat er uit gaat zien. Modellering van deze interacties zou
aangepakt moeten worden via voortzetting van de koppeling tussen IMAGE en
het klimaat model ECBilt van het KNMI, * betere regionalisatie is
wenselijk.
This report summarises the recommendations and suggestions, which resulted from the third meeting of the IMAGE-2 Advisory Board. IMAGE-2 is RIVM's global change model. The main objectives of the meeting were to discuss and review the validity of the almost completed version 2.2 of IMAGE, and to advise on required and desirable future developments with respect to the organisation, the science and the applications of the IMAGE research. The most important recommendations and suggestions of the report are: * IMAGE 2.2 and its derived tools are state-of-the-art instruments. IMAGE's comparative advantage is the integration of energy use, land use, climate and impacts. This advantage should be formalised by writing a Mission Statement centred on the objective of the Framework Convention on Climate Change (FCCC), * collaboration with national and international institutes, participation in the international global-change research programmes and the contribution to IPGC assessments are important to further develop the model and increase its scientific acceptance, * the agricultural economy model must be more strongly developed in the direction of a land-use ecomomy model so as to better integrate all land-based resources and improve the linkages with the Energy model, TIMER and WorldScan of CPB, * climate variability should be included in IMAGE's impact assessments, * land-climate interactions are important in defining climate in the future and should be addressed by continuing the linkage with the climate model ECBilt of KNMI, * improved regionalisation is desirable.
