Abstract
Unstable, non-viable and unsustainable systems, whether they are environmental, political, technological, social or economic systems, create serious challenges and place even humanity itself at risk. At IFAC we believe that scientists and technologists, especially control and automation systems researchers and practitioners, can contribute to making the world a more stable place for everyone. Technological proliferation contributes significantly to these systemic and structural effects. The application of global systems of information, finance, energy and other resources has both negative and positive consequences. The diversity of TC 9-5 makes it a unique Science and Engineering community within which to explore the role of UN SDGs. This paper sets out the historical development of TC9-5 in light of the UN SDGs, and demonstrates some key aspects of the current alignment of TC9-5 with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs).
