Design/methodology/approachUsing a documentary analysis, the authors examined the media coverage of droughts and floods from 2003 to 2013 with concomitant official reports.The results indicate that although media coverage conveys the direct impact of floods and droughts on society, it underemphasizes the importance of risk management activities. Moreover, the private sector rarely engages in risk management and mitigation activities, despite the documented supply chain disruptions. Research limitations/implicationsThis study focuses solely on media coverage as provided by wide-circulation newspaper in Brazil and would benefit by being extended to all media platforms. Practical implicationsThe results highlight the need for private sector involvement in risk management activities to facilitate the adaptation to climate change.Social implicationsThe study reveals the deficiency of existing reports and lack of awareness regarding EWE. Originality/valueThe study contributes by focusing on climate awareness and how society can adapt to climate change, as well as how businesses can improve supply chain operations to facilitate smoother risk management. 2020 artículo científico 2531-0488 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=553863219009 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5538/553863219009/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5538/553863219009/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5538/553863219009/553863219009.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/5538/553863219009/movil https://doi.org/10.1108/RAUSP-09-2018-0082 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=5538 RAUSP Management Journal application/pdf Universidade de São Paulo RAUSP Management Journal (Brasil) Num.2 Vol.55
