The article examines the role of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) as a tool for environmental management and for the planning and development of renewable energy sources (RES). Based on a review of the literature, it is demonstrated that GIS support key managerial functions, including planning, monitoring, decision-making, and communication, by enabling comprehensive spatial analysis and the integration of environmental data. The study emphasizes the importance of GIS in facilitating a systemic and interdisciplinary approach to environmental governance. The paper examines how GIS can help with environmental management, specifically in locating high-risk areas and strategically placing energy investments. Examining GIS’s organizational, technological, and legal facets, it emphasizes how it is increasingly collaborating with cutting-edge decision-support technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), remote sensing, and big data. The analysis emphasizes how GIS help achieve sustainable development’s objectives and tasks.
