“…Another important finding related to the mismanagement of resources prompts some citizens to engage in unethical practices to keep up with Namibia's high cost of living. The result adds to a growing body of evidence by Kalili (2019); Namabanda (2019); Chilunjika, and Gumede (2021), suggesting that resource mismanagement benefits the elites more than the masses, accounts for the dissatisfaction of the majority of the population. This result reveals the importance of utilising natural resources in the country to benefit the masses.…”

This study argues that preservation of internal security of Namibia should not be the primary responsibility of only the Namibian Police Force (NamPol). The issue of security has been the subject of interest throughout human existence and still reserves its principal occupation in the public domain. However, the challenges of insecurities and increased threats to human existence domestically and globally have triggered incessantly renewed security inquiry by scholars, security practitioners, politicians and public administrators. The study employed a qualitative approach; interviews were used to purposively collect data from 20 participants which comprised of the heads of directorates, the regional commanders in the Namibian Police Force, Legal Assistance Centre, NamRights, Namibian Defence Force, Namibian Correctional Service and Windhoek Municipal Police. The data was analysed using thematic analysis, which led to the development of the Framework for Performing Internal Security [FPIS] model. The findings indicate that due to the nature of factors linked to insecurities, such as technology, porous borders, political factors, environmental factors, inequality, poverty, unemployment and lack of provision for essential services, the Namibian police alone cannot preserve internal security effectively. As such, the study recommends that constitutional amendments to incorporate other stakeholders in the preservation Namibia’s internal security.

“…The rapid increase in CO 2 emissions is expected to have a negative impact on crop yield and food quality in the following decades, posing a significant threat to FOS [ 19 , 107 ]. Furthermore, other findings have revealed that the CEM inversely impacts FOS [ 25 , 54 , 55 ].…”

“…Reduced food production exacerbates the resources for poverty and malnourished households to access nutritious food in rural and city areas [ 25 , 54 ]. Additionally, extreme CEM events can disrupt the distribution of foodstuffs, culminating in price hikes and a decline in poor people's survival, particularly in low-income nations [ 55 ]. As a result, assigning a large portion of earnings to food supplies will adversely influence people's buying power.…”

“…As a result, assigning a large portion of earnings to food supplies will adversely influence people's buying power. This situation will further result in global deprivation and food insecurity, which high food prices would exacerbate, weather extremes, variation, and relatively small accessibility to food [ 26 , 55 ]. Hence, this study posits that CEM threatens FOS.…”

“…Being embedded in the 2030 Agenda as an SDG itself (SDG 13: Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts), studies have shown that climate change can make SDG targets harder to achieve (Cohen et al, 2021;Fuso Nerini et al, 2019;Mugambiwa & Tirivangasi, 2017). In sub-Saharan Africa, the impacts of climate change on agricultural production have hampered efforts to reduce poverty and hunger (SDG 6,7) (Chilunjika & Gumede, 2021;Mugambiwa & Tirivangasi, 2017). In contrast, climate action and SDG targets can achieve multiple goals through synergies and co-benefits (Denton et al, 2022).…”
