This study explores the feasibility and effectiveness of a Culturally Sustaining Inquiry-Based Learning model integrated with Socio-Scientific Issues (CSIL-SSI) to enhance upper-secondary students’ critical thinking on climate change (CC). The model combines inquiry-based learning and SSI while incorporating students’ local culture and indigenous knowledge. A mixed-method approach involved classroom observations and pre-post critical thinking tests analyzed using a right-tailed paired-sample t-test. Results showed high feasibility (M= 4.00) in most aspects, though some challenges were noted in group dynamics and student reflection. The t-test indicated a significant improvement in post-test scores (p &lt; .05), confirming the model’s effectiveness. These findings support CSIL-SSI as a feasible and impactful framework that promotes culturally relevant, critical engagement with climate issues. Broader implementation and further research are recommended to explore its long-term impact and adaptability in varied educational settings.</style></abstract><issue><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">4</style></issue><work-type><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Original article</style></work-type><section><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">624-636</style></section></record></records></xml>
