Abstract
This work is prompted by the massive use of Information and Communication Technologies, the need for alignment with the business, the concern for integrated management and the need to protect natural resources and the environment. This article aims to present a framework, multidimensional and multidisciplinary, from the perspective of sustainability, in the treatment of Green IT, involving environmental issues and social responsibility, Governance of Information Technologies and Financial Management, in the context of Public Administration, more specifically in local administration. The methodology used is based on the literature review, in the field of thematic, and on a case study in development in local government, in order to analyze the feasibility and suitability with the validation of the framework. The main results obtained in the case study focus on the use of technology allied to Green IT, with theoretical reflexes for environmental quality and with possible cost reduction.
