Perspective
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
- 2009: Global Natural Resources – Management and Sustainability
- 2010: Sustainable Food Systems – Toward Food for All
