The base currency in a foreign exchange rate quotation is the currency which there is one of.
Climate finance is any financing that seeks to support mitigation and adaptation actions to address finance change.


For example in the quotation 1 GBP = 1.4600 USD, the base currency is GBP; meaning one British pound is exchanged for a variable number of USD, depending on the rate quoted.
It includes local, national and transnational financing, from private, public and alternative sources.


Also known as the Reference currency or the Fixed currency.
