Abstract

E-government has emerged as a key component in the evolution of public administration into the digital age. This paper examines the intersection between e-government, governance, and the environment. It explores the ways in which information and communication technologies (ICTs) can strengthen environmental governance and facilitate informed decision-making in environmental public policy. In addition, the case study Cuba, where the National Environmental Information System was developed to facilitate the collection, analysis and dissemination of environmental data in real time, with the objective of informing citizens and decision makers, is analyzed. This specific case illustrates how e-government can improve transparency, citizen participation and collaboration between governmental and non-governmental actors by promoting efficient, sustainable environmental initiatives with lasting impact
