The International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences (CAETS) is organisation of engineering and technological sciences academies.
History
[edit]CAETS was founded in 1978 by the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering, the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Academy of Engineering of Mexico, the US National Academy of Engineering, and the Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciences. CAETS is incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation in the District of Columbia, US.[1]
From 1985 until 2000 the name "Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences" (CAETS) was used.[2]
As of 2022, CAETS has 31 member academies.[3]
Organisation
[edit]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]

Statements
[edit]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]
- 2008: Delta Technology for a Sustainable and Habitable Planet

- 2010: Sustainable Food Systems – Toward Food for All
- 2011: Engineering Analysis and Management to Reduce Risks
- 2012: Urban Development and Public Transportation: Improved Understanding of the Interdependencies
- 2013: Educating Engineers
- 2014: Engineering and the Future of Humankind
- 2015: Pathways to Sustainability in the Energy, Mobility and Health Care Sectors
