“…This study, therefore, departs from the existing studies by analysing the impact of fossil energy consumption and co 2 emissions on adult mortality rate in Nigeria. The study chooses these two core independent variables (fossil energy consumption and co 2 emissions) because they are the key contributors to mortality rate and disease burden globally (Vohra et al 2021;Farhidi and Mawi 2022;Foye 2022).…”

“…Globally, the health sector has been recognised as an important force in any nation's growth and development process (Benjamin and Foye 2022). This is because healthy living is a prerequisite for economic growth and development, and the quality of the healthcare system is linked directly to the people's quality of life.…”

“…Meanwhile, an increase in fossil energy consumption not only boosts growth and development but also affects public health. Though fossil fuel consumption's primary effect differs from its secondary effect, both forms affect health outcomes (Foye 2022). Specifically, fossil energy consumption generates carbon emissions, which contribute significantly to outdoor or ambient air pollution, primarily when fossil fuel is used for industrial and automobile operations.…”

“…Specifically, fossil energy consumption generates carbon emissions, which contribute significantly to outdoor or ambient air pollution, primarily when fossil fuel is used for industrial and automobile operations. These emissions advance into the atmosphere and become well mixed such that about the same amount is in the atmosphere everywhere (Foye 2022). While there are other greenhouse gas emissions such as nitrogen oxide, sulphur dioxide, methane and polyaromatic hydrocarbons, co 2 emissions are the most dominant, causing global warming and deterioration of human health, especially in urban areas (Chen and Guo 2019;Foye 2018;World Health Organization 2021;Environmental Protection Agency N.d.).…”

The health implications of fossil energy consumption and carbon dioxide(CO2) emissions remain a global concern. This study examines the effectof fossil energy consumption and CO2 emissions on adult mortality rate inNigeria. The study relies on the Health Production Function and utilisesthe Autoregressive Distributed Lag technique to analyse time series datafrom 1980 to 2019. The results of the estimated model show that fossil energyconsumption reduces adult mortality rates in the short run, while co2emissions increase adult mortality rates both in the short and long run.In addition, government health expenditure follows an inverted U-shaperelationship in explaining adult mortality while foreign direct investmenthas a U-shape relationship with adult mortality in Nigeria. Trade opennessand monetary policy are insignificant in the short and long run. Itis recommended that the government should substitute clean energy forfossil fuel energy to improve the quality of life, strengthen CO2 emissionstax and ensure health funds are used for the improvement of healthcareservice delivery in Nigeria.

To achieve inclusive growth, and poverty and inequality reduction, African countries should enhance labour-intensive agricultural production due to their abundance of natural resources and labour. In this paper, we examine the impact of agriculture on the economic growth of Zimbabwe using the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ardl) model employing data covering the period 1970 to 2019. The results show that agricultural production has a significant positive impact on economic growth in the short run while showing no impact on economic growth in the long run. Additionally, the study confirms that inflation, government expenditure and gross fixed capital formation have a positive impact on economic growth in both the long run and short run. Although the agricultural sector plays a salient role in the early stages of economic development, it is, however, not able to maintain sustainable economic growth over a long period in Zimbabwe. Additional macro-economic policy levers are required to compliment agricultural production and promote sustainable economic growth.

Amidst the evolving crises and disruptions threatening firms’ competitiveness, businesses are faced with increased dynamism necessitated by technological development, digitalization, and sustainability requirements for survival and growth. This study delves into the intersection of dynamic capabilities (DC), digital transformation (DT), and sustainable resilience among law firms in developing countries. With Nigerian law firms as our case study, this research investigates the strategic integration of dynamic capabilities and digital transformation to foster long-term sustainability of law firms’ resilience during a crisis. Through empirical analysis and qualitative exploration, the study unveils obstacles ranging from digital resistance to technical constraints yet uncovers valuable insights from adopting innovative digital strategies that enhance operational resilience and contribute to driving positive economic, environmental, and social impact while ensuring long-term sustainability objectives. The study reaffirms the significance of dynamic capabilities for digital transformation and contributes to the broader discourse on how digital technology enables firms in emerging economies to maneuver disruptions during crises.
