Abstract
In this day and age, rethinking and rediscovering climate leadership within the international system is focal to global climate governance and the construction of leadership in the rise of great powers. This paper takes China - the biggest developing country and the second largest economy in the world - as an example to evaluate its leadership on the theoretical basis of Moral Realism. By analyzing Chinas climate policy, the author concludes that China is simultaneously establishing economic and political state leadership as a hybrid and humane authority international leadership. However, in-depth interaction mechanism between the two types of leadership needs further empirical exploration.
