This special issue focuses on the intersections of climate, disasters, and development. The research presented here is designed to facilitate climate-resilient decision-making, and promote sustainable development by maximising the beneficial impacts of responses to climate change and minimising negative impacts across the full spectrum of geographies and sectors that are potentially affected by the changing climate.

Groundwater Quantity

<p>Sustainable evolution of groundwater quantity and quality is essential for sustainable development and protection of society and nature, globally, as acknowledged in the UN sustainable development goals and the European Green Deal. Too much? – too little? – and/or too polluted? are important questions to pose and answer in a changing climate with increasing pressures on water resources, severe loss of biodiversity, and a projected increase in extreme events resulting in an increasing risk of floods, droughts, landslides and land subsidence.   </p><p>Easy access to digital and FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and reusable) data on groundwater quantity and quality is imperative for informed decision making and efficient climate change mitigation and adaptation to which sustainable groundwater management will contribute. Here we briefly present selected highlights and digital data products from the four GeoERA groundwater projects developed for and made available on the digital subsurface information platform of the European geological survey organizations. The ambition is to develop the digital information platform, EGDI (the European Geological Data Infrastructure) as the leading information platform for sustainable and integrated management of subsurface resources in Europe and one of the leading platforms, globally.</p>

Design Construction

The paper presents the technologies of geoinformation support within hydraulic structures construction and exploitation at the stage of engineering-geological, engineering-ecological and engineering-hydrometeorological surveys for environmental economics during the implementation of major projects in the field of sustainable development of cities and municipalities. The impact of dredging on the natural environment is considered, and a conclusion about the need to study the rate of sedimentation at different stages of exploration, design, construction, and operation of underwater engineering facilities are made. It is shown how the construction of the Marine Facade of St. Petersburg for receiving tourist ferries changed the need for dredging volumes and how this affected the total cost of work. The port of Bronka in Neva Bay is used as an example of sedimentation study during the period of 2005-2007. The developed technologies should help in managing natural risks in the implementation of major projects in the field of construction and operation of hydraulic structures within the framework of the environmental economics in a changing climate.

The Impact

<p>How much water will come in future from the Himalayan watersheds under changing climate is a growing concern for ensuring sustainable development of downstream agrarian economies and for socioeconomic wellbeing of dependent communities. However, robust assessment of future water availability largely depends upon fidelity of climate modelling experiments simulating future change scenarios, beyond the debate of their possibility and plausibility. Thus, I assess the fidelity of CORDEX experiments over the Himalayan watersheds for the historical period against a broader set of observational datasets, in terms of reproducibility of the observed climatology of temperature and precipitation. Changes in these basic variables relevant for impact studies will also be presented under different scenarios and their robustness will be discussed in view of their fidelity for the historical period. The study will suggest the suitability of CORDEX experiments for the impact studies and further possibilities for improvement.</p>
