In the village of Than Bayar Khon in rural Myanmar, residents once used firewood to cook meals.
Now, they are using so-called "climate-friendly" stoves, which require less fuel and are powered by forest waste.
The stoves were supplied by the Global Environmental Institute, or GEI, a Chinese non-profit organisation.
It is helping implement China's climate-related projects both domestically and in the Asia region.
Kendall Bitonte, who works at the organisation's Beijing office, says the problems do not end at the borders.
"The causes of global warming and climate change in China, or the impacts in China, really spread throughout the country and throughout the whole Asian region."
He says GEI is helping local authorities in western China address severe drought.
"These local governments are really concerned with how to monitor community development in the face of this environmental crisis."
China's commitment to act on climate change was underlined last September when president Xi Jinping and then United States president Barack Obama met at a G20 summit.
They announced they would ratify the Paris Agreement on climate change.
The world's two biggest emitters of greenhouse gases joined almost 200 countries in pledging to cut carbon emissions and halt global warming.
China has since announced it would invest almost US$500 billion in renewable energy by 2020.
An environmental analyst at Beijing's Tsinghua University, Professor Qi Ye, says China has stepped up its efforts for years now.
"Ever since 2009, China has become the largest investor in clean energy. And as of today, China takes more than a third of the world investment in clean energy."
But since taking office, President Trump has threatened to withdraw from the Paris plan, saying it costs too many US jobs.
He has already rolled back Obama-era restrictions on carbon emissions and signed an executive order to restore coalmining on federal lands.
Li Shuo, from Greenpeace's Beijing office, insists a US withdrawal from the deal would have little effect on China's own commitment.
"China has already made itself very clear on that. Its climate action is driven primarily by its domestic interests and concerns. It needs to clean up the air and water for its own citizens."
China has promised to cap carbon emissions by 2030.
Coal consumption, the major cause of air pollution and emissions, has fallen for three years in a row.
Professor Qi Ye says, while there will be job losses in the coal industry, other jobs are being created in the renewable sector.
"We do see the clean-energy development is a major opportunity, not only for the air quality, for climate change, but also for job creation for economic growth."
While China pursues its ambitious environmental goals, it is urging the United States to do the same and stick to the Paris deal.
President Trump's final decision is expected ahead of the Group of 7 leaders' meeting next month in Italy.
