The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has been approached from the support perspective and sustainability of human habitats, reality that has compromised alarming contingents of the world and Brazilian population. The observational method was adopted, stipulating temporal and spatial cuts from the first infections that occurred in the country until the end of June 2020, using bibliographic and documentary research (online). It was verified that the territorial disorder subjected to inefficient measures aggravated the structures already impacted by the historical and turbulent chain of production and consumption. The environmental injustice revealed in housing and food insecurity brings heavy social traumas amid the compulsive inertia or deficit of public management constantly convulsed by the refinement of necropolitics. The aspirations of critical and emancipatory education have stood out to provide subjects and governance with new educabilities and rationalities that lead to the confrontation of needs and absences, as well as the sustainability engendered in the corrective thinking of the public power in promoting the redistribution of goods and services that establish the real democracy of spaces.
