Abstract: Abstract When taking an active part in international climate governance, the Chinese government places emphasis in the legislation on addressing climate change, which is the key process to make climate change policy propelled actively. This article aims to explore how to establish China's climate change legislation system in the post-Paris era, to achieve China's goal of “carbon peak and carbon neutralization,” and better fulfill the emission reduction obligations under the Paris Agreement. Drawing on approaches suggested by the Dawes Matrix, to explain a climate law system which is based on “three integrated layers” in China, this article proposes the core layer of policy-oriented integrated climate change law, the most significant layer for the legislation on mitigation and adaptation, the supportive layer involving safeguard system related to various administration regulations, department measures and local legislation, as well as relevant guide policies of climate change.
