Abstract Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are essential for environmental management and sustainable development as they facilitate the analysis of spatial data and enhance decision-making processes in domains such as disaster mitigation, urban planning, climate adaptation, and natural resource management. This study examines the primary functions of GIS in these fields, emphasizing its efficacy in integrating diverse information and promoting sustainable solutions in environmental management and sustainable development. The primary objective of this study is to assess the effectiveness and application of GIS and its tools in various domain like resource monitoring, land use optimization, disaster risk management, Biodiversity conservation and enhancement of public awareness and participation. This study based on qualitative methodology includes maps and diagrams for better visualization. The regional map which has been included, prepared by extracting data from United States Geological Survey later map made through Arc GIS. This Study shows that Geographical Information System has a crucial role in locating, integrating analysis, tracking and visualizing the spatial data which provides insights in decision making that assists in informed planning and policy formulation. Furthermore, it helps to identify potential regions at risk and promote conservation efforts thus encourage sustainable practices. GIS makes a substantial contribution to good environmental management and attainment of sustainable development goals.
