The fund, with more than $20 billion in pledges, is the largest international fund dedicated to supporting climate action in developing countries.
The latest pledge, which Reuters was first to report, would be additional to another $2 billion previously delivered by the United States.
In addition to supporting climate adaptation, the fund also finances projects to help countries shift to clean energy.
