Cover Story: This study examines eco-anxiety among higher education professionals as a psychosocial response shaped by perceptions of institutional and governmental adequacy rather than solely by individual vulnerability. Based on a global mixed-methods survey of 556 participants, it identifies that perceived governmental inadequacy is strongly associated with climate-related distress, accounting for a substantial share of the variance in eco-anxiety. Universities are viewed more favourably, yet participants often describe their sustainability efforts as symbolic, which contributes to moral dissonance, professional fatigue, and reduced trust. Introducing the Institutional Appraisal Model of Eco-Anxiety, the paper integrates Cognitive Appraisal Theory with organisational legitimacy to frame eco-anxiety as a relational signal of governance alignment, with implications for leadership and the SDGs.
