Abstract

The essay analyzed the situation of the pandemic of COVID-19, presenting the existing interfaces between the environment, the economic development model and public health. As a starting point, it considered the understanding of the pandemic of COVID-19 as a complex problem and proposed an explanatory modeling, here called ecosystemic, to help the necessary integrated actions in its confrontation. Based on the concept of social reproduction, we have analyzed the determinants at the macro and micro contexts, that are in interaction at the different levels of “biocommunal”, “self-awareness and conduct”, “techno-economic”, and “ecological-political”. The identification of this set of interdependent conditioning factors has made it possible to characterize the socio-environmental vulnerabilities that must be considered when making public policies decisions.
