Abstract: International audience ; The human-nature connection (HNC) is a lever for action to achieve the sustainability of our societies, since it allows us to act simultaneously on the health of ecosystems and the health of human populations. This HNC varies according to the living environment of individuals, including physical, social, political and cultural environments, and also according to sociodemographic factors, such as age. Thus, inhabitants of countries in the Global North have a lower HNC than those in the Global South; individuals from indigenous peoples have a higher HNC than those in urban areas or the Global North; and children have a high HNC that decreases sharply from adolescence. To explain these disconnections, we came to study through qualitative analysis the representations of nature of adolescents from three different populations: French, urban Colombia, and Indigenous peoples of Colombia. The French have a naturalistic representation of nature opposed to humans (nature-culture distinction) that appears in adolescence, while Colombians have a sacred representation, particularly among indigenous peoples. Thus, it appears important, in order to limit this disconnection in Western countries, to strengthen experiences of living in nature during adolescence, and to contribute to creating imaginaries in which humans and non-humans are not in opposition. ; La connexion humain-nature (CHN) est un levier d'action pour atteindre la soutenabilité de nos sociétés, puisqu'elle permet d'agir simultanément sur la santé des écosystèmes et la santé des populations humaines. Cette CHN varie en fonction de l'environnement de vie des individus, notamment les environnements physiques, sociaux, politiques et culturels, et également en fonction de facteurs sociodémographique, tel que l'âge. Ainsi, les habitant.es des pays du Nord global présentent une CHN plus faible que ceux du Sud Global ; les individus de peuples autochtones ont une CHN plus élevée que celle des urbains ou du Nord Global ; et les enfants ont une CHN ...
