The aim of this paper is to identify and analyze impressions on the environmental theme and its connections to the learning process as developed by authors in the Physics field of knowledge whose studies have been published in the annals of the National Symposium  of Physics Teaching (Simpósio Nacional de Ensino de Física — SNEF), held by the Brazilian Physics Society (Sociedade Brasileira de Física (SBF). Methodologically, this is a documentary/bibliographic qualitative research. The mapping indicates that the Physics Teaching field presents a relatively small amount of studies on the aspects of the environmental theme and the learning process. The analyzed studies indicate that critical perspectives of the teaching process are the grounds for the authors in this field to approach aspects of the environmental theme. Some studies mention the fact that environmental problems can be characterized by their complexity and their inherent controversies. There also are critical considerations to the current economic model. It seems important to mention that the Physics Teaching field — however timidly — has turned attention to building thoughts on the different connections between the environmental theme and the learning process.
