Abstract: Western China, at the frontier of China’s ecological civilization construction, is facing the urgent need of green development with well-rounded non-technological innovation system. This paper introduces and expands the Multi-level Governance (MLG) model and, by means of case comparison, explores the non-technological innovation system for green development. Research found that effective non-technological innovation system can set off competition among the same level of local governments, and generate the domino effect of preference to green development, thus driving them to adjust the development strategies and policies, increase green investment and improve the efficiency of green development. Therefore, realizing the systemic transition to green development, through the establishment of a non-technological innovation system, improvement in its MLG and matching cadre assessment system as well as initiative preference intervene, will enhance the effectiveness of green development in Western China.
