Abstract The Paris model featured by “bottom⁃up” has started a new era of global climate governance,which, to the fullest extent, unites the multi⁃stakeholder forces beyond the national level. The governing authority of non⁃state actors in climate politics is increasing day by day, which is reflected in the continuous improvement of cognitive influence, monitoring influence, social influence, resources influence, and symbolic influence. The comprehensive “de⁃climate” policy of the Trump Administration pushed non⁃national actors to pursue a local leadership concerning climate governance, and to seek global visibility of local ac tions in the following ways: shaping structural influence by multiple networking partnership; promoting the monitoring influence with agenda setting and host⁃summit diplomacy; strengthening cognitive influence with authoritative and systematic research; and increasing symbolic influence in seizing political opportunity and shaping the collective identity. The rapid rise of non⁃state actors, especially the US ones, has a significant influence on the climate governance pattern in the Post⁃Paris Era. Whether China could cooperate positively with those non⁃state actors and enhance its governance capacity would make a difference to the guiding role that China plays in global climate governance.
