- The interactive data wall shows 60% of S&P 500 companies hold assets that are at high risk due to the physical effects of climate change

- Heatwaves, wildfires, sea-level rise and hurricanes represent the biggest risks

- Real estate investment trusts (REITs) in the S&P 500 with portfolios concentrated in the U.S., U.K., and Canada face heightened risks
