The present work is characterized as a hypothetical-deductive theoretical essay with a bibliographic review, having as a theoretical-conceptual base the contribution of ecofeminism, environmental justice and nature´s right to the realization of climate justice. The work points out correlations between ecological crisis and gender inequalities through different dimensions of ecofeminism: distribution, representation, recognition, capabilities and participation. Climate change affects everybody and everywhere in a cross-border way, but with a lot of differences according to birth place, race, gender, age, sexuality, physical and mental health, socioeconomic conditions, among others intersectionalities. Ecofeminism theory and practices rearticulate the feminists identities promoting an equalization of environmental and climate justice. The feminist perspective adopted in this work permited sociopolitical categories discussions such as ecology, rights of nature, enviromental and climate justice as a gender issue.
