Abstract	Besides being a country with high inequality, Brazil faces an alarming sociohistorical moment in which the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is exacerbating a disastrous political situation that promotes polarization and social division. The context of this situation is described here through a critical lens, as a justification for conceiving a counter-hegemonic proposal based on different views that share the perspective of Global South epistemologies. Santos' (in Santos (ed) "Epistemologias do Sul," Coimbra, Edições Almedina, 2009) fundamental principle is that there is no global social justice without global cognitive justice, which is represented by the concept of ecology of knowledge. In a recent publication, Santos ("A cruel pedagogia do vírus," Coimbra, Edições Almedina.Santos, 2020) demonstrates that the negative effects of the pandemic on the planet and humanity were exacerbated by the planetary dimensions that capitalism has taken on. The author states that the current health crisis is connected to the ecological crisis, since both are manifestations of this model of society, which is based on the unlimited exploitation of natural resources. Building on these ideas, we envisage a science education that fights for the preservation of the planet, is critical of the capitalist model of society, and values the knowledge of the Global South.
