To know the adolescents' perception about the health and environment relationship for sustainable and health-promoting practices. Methods: Qualitative study, conducted according to COREQ. Data were collected in May 2020, through a semi-structured interview, with the participation of 13 adolescents from an elementary school in a municipality located in the Microregion of Cariri, Northeast, Ceará, Brazil. The data were analyzed according to the content analysis technique. Results: The testimonies reveal that for adolescents, the relationship between health and the environment is permeated by themes such as pollution, deforestation and climate change, implying a detachment regarding the expanded concept of health. Conclusion: The study points out that the relationship between health and the environment must be guided by transversal and pluralistic themes, in order to recognize the environment as a living space.
