Companies responding to the physical risks associated with climate change are seeing a measurable financial benefit, according to a study by London Stock Exchange Group Plc.

The bourse operator’s research found that more than 2,100 companies were able to generate over $1 trillion of combined revenues last year from products and services that contribute to so-called climate adaptation. The study looked at companies in sectors ranging from logistics to food processing and real estate, LSEG said on Monday.
