This paper examines how the upcoming November/December 2015 UN Paris Climate Change Convention will bring about a new bottom-up type of agreement based on voluntary emissions reduction pledges by individual states. The author notes that this marks the end of the top-down policy paradigm dominant for more than two decades and contends that scientific advisers should use this shift as an opportunity to critically reassess their role in international climate policy.
