The International Council of Academies of Engineering and Technological Sciences (CAETS) is an independent nonpolitical and non-governmental international organization of engineering and technological sciences academies, one member academy per country, that advances the following objectives:
| Provide an independent nonpolitical and non-governmental international forum for enlightened dialog and communication of engineering and technological sciences;
| Contribute to advancing engineering and technological sciences in order to promote economic growth, sustainable development, and societal well-being throughout the world;
| Foster collaboration and the development of bi- and multi-lateral programs between the member academies;
| Prepare science-based proposals in order to advise governments and international organizations on policy issues related to engineering and technology development;
| Promote diversity and inclusion in the global engineering profession;
| Promote ethics in engineering education, research and practice;
| Contribute to continuous improvement and modernization of engineering education and practice internationally;
| Foster a balanced public understanding of the applications of engineering and technology; and
| Foster establishment of additional engineering academies in countries where none exist.
CAETS has Council (meets annually), Board of Directors and Executive Committee.[4]
The CAETS Board of Directors includes four Officers (President: Denis Ranque; President-Elect: Neven Duić; Past-President: Manuel Solanet; Secretary/Treasurer: Ruth David) together with eight additional members elected by the Council to serve two year terms.[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]
