This study examines the perceived influence of different actors in Canada's climate change policy network just prior to the signing of the Paris Agreement. In this research, we consider the problem of addressing climate change from a policy network perspective. We collect network data on organizational policy actors. This analysis utilizes data from a representative survey of climate change policy network actors in Canada. Five network relations are examined: communication, sharing scientific information, collaboration, influence in domestic climate change politics, and influence on the respondent's organization's policy position. Using QCA, we examine the extent that different configurations of variables lead to an organization being perceived as influential in domestic climate politics, and in being perceived as influencing other organizations. We discuss the implications of our finding for future research using QCA in trying to understand policy outcomes
