The International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences (CAETS) is organisation of engineering and technological sciences academies.
CAETS has a council that meets annually, a board of directors and executive committee.[4] Directors have included Denis Ranque, Neven Duić, and Ruth David.[5]
In October 2007, CAETS issued a Statement on Environment and Sustainable Growth:
As reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), most of the observed global warming since the mid-20th century is very likely due to human-produced emission of greenhouse gases and this warming will continue unabated if present anthropogenic emissions continue or, worse, expand without control.
CAETS, therefore, endorses the many recent calls to decrease and control greenhouse gas emissions to an acceptable level as quickly as possible.[6]
In following years, CAETS has issued statements:[7]
