| Abstract | Haze and PM2.5 air pollution in Chiang Rai has adversely affected Mae Fah Luang University (MFU) students, intensifying an emerging form of psychological distress known as eco-anxiety. Recognizing the direct connection between mental well-being and the capacity to engage in learning, this paper examines how integrating Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in the“Introduction to Sustainable Development” (ISD) classroom can mitigate eco-anxiety. Over one academic year, 60 students participated in qualitative methods (classroom observations, focus group discussions, surveys, and reflections). Results show that 87% of students reported high eco-anxiety, characterized predominantly by fear, anger, and helplessness. By employing a HOTS-based approach, the classroom not only validates ecological emotions but also helps develop emotional resilience and empowers students to create actionable solutions to environmental challenges. These insights support SDG 4 (Quality Education) by linking cognitive skill development to students’ mental well-being and their capacity to address real-world environmental crises. |
