The vast majority, including most of the autocratic ones - most notably, the Chinese ruling party does believe in climate change, and did sign the Paris agreement.

There is an anecdote that describes the Chine governments attitude towards climate change.

In anticipation of some international event, like the Olypmics, the city government put in new streetlights with integrated solar panels but the solar panels were never hooked up. It is important that they look like they are doing something without regard to it having any actual effect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face_(sociological_concept)
