U.S. President Barack Obama arrives in Yangon airport November 14, 2014.
Obama is expected to announce the pledge at this weekend's meeting of G-20 industrial nations in Australia.
The contribution would make the second major move on climate change taken by Obama after big Democratic losses in last week's midterm elections.
The United States would join other countries, including Mexico, South Korea, Germany, France, and Japan, in pledging to the fund.
The fund will work in step with private sector investment and help spur global markets in clean energy technologies, creating opportunities for entrepreneurs and manufacturers including those from the United States.
