Abstract At present, In the shifting process of global climate and energy pattern, the countries are confronted with much stricter constraints on carbon emissions. One country's capacities to deal with and make a break-through of carbon constraints determine its position in the international order transition. Clean energy, as the leading factor of the next generation energy system, provides an integrated solution for the response to climate change, energy security and low-carbon transition. In such a context, the development of clean energy diplomacy has become an important focus of a country to guarantee the favorable international environment for its domestic energy transformation and promote the construction of a new order of global governance of climate and energy. With the rapid development of clean energy, China's clean energy diplomacy has undergone a four-stage evolution from “the exogenous capacity construction” to “the endogenous institutionalization”. Especially in the post crisis era, when China has become a leading clean energy country, its diplomacy present so their new trends such as multi-level and multi-track, “south-south” innovation model, and global networking partnership. The domestic green development, the systematic power flowing and China's diplomatic strategy shifting constitute key dynamic factors behind the transitional process. The new tendency will help China keep a dominant position in the international transition towards a low-carbon pattern, while improve China's discourse leadership and institutional power in the construction of a new global order of climate and energy.
