The possibility of creating health promotion policies that look at a long-term horizon depends on the ability to generate a healthy environment for people. However, the creation of this kind of policy faces different obstacles, which are examined in this study. Among them is the complex relationship that can be established between health, sustainability and social policies. Despite all of these themes have a common interest in human needs the integration between them is not always considered in the academic literature. The paper examines some of these issues and the challenges presented by the possibility of thinking of an ecological social policy in the 21st century.
