As set out in the Climate Change Strategy for Wales, the Welsh Assembly Government has a leadership role in tackling climate change. We need to take visible action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and to adapt to the impacts of climate change, in order to inspire others to do the same.


We were one of the first governments in the UK to sign up the whole of its administrative estate to the 10:10 commitment. Our aim was to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions of our estate by 10% in a year. Our 10:10 action year began in July 2010 last year and will end on 30 June 2011\.


I am delighted that we have already almost achieved this target. In the first six months of our action year (July – December 2010\) we reduced emissions by 1,564 tonnes which represents 90% of the total target for the year. This means we are likely to exceed our target by the end of our 10:10 action year.


Actual greenhouse gas emission performance data from electricity, fossil fuels and business travel for the first six months of the 10:10 action year (July – December 2010\) shows a 19% decrease compared to the same period in 2009 (the baseline year). This includes a 13% decrease in emissions from electricity, 23% decrease in emissions from gas usage and a 36% decrease in emissions from business travel.


However successful we are in reducing emissions, there will always be some emissions that cannot be reduced due to restrictions associated with current technologies and infrastructure.


From April 2011, the Assembly Government will have a Carbon Investment Scheme which will levy a charge on departments for each journey made by air travel, by Ministerial fleet travel and by hire car travel. These charges will apply to Ministers and officials.


The Scheme reflects a commitment in the Ministerial Code that was made in 2007\. The Department for Environment and Sustainability will provide funds to cover the emissions from all departments for the past four years (2007\-11\), which will amount to approximately £45,000\. It is anticipated that the Scheme will generate a maximum of £10,000 per year, with this decreasing year on year as the carbon footprint of the organisation reduces.


The funds will be invested into innovative emission reduction projects in sub\-Saharan Africa associated with our Wales for Africa programme. The Scheme will be managed by the Wales Council for Voluntary Action.

Fel y nodir yn Strategaeth Cymru ar y Newid yn yr Hinsawdd, mae gan Lywodraeth Cynulliad Cymru rôl o ran arwain y gwaith o fynd i’r afael â’r newid yn yr hinsawdd. Mae angen i ni gymryd camau gweledol i leihau allyriadau nwyon tŷ gwydr ac addasu i effeithiau’r newid yn yr hinsawdd er mwyn ysbrydoli eraill i wneud yr un fath.

 

Ni oedd un o lywodraethau cyntaf y DU i gofrestru’i hystâd weinyddol gyfan i’r ymrwymiad 10:10\. Ein nod oedd lleihau allyriadau nwyon tŷ gwydr ein ystâd o 10% mewn blwyddyn. Dechreuodd ein blwyddyn weithredu 10:10 ym mis Gorffennaf y llynedd a bydd yn dod i ben ar 30 Mehefin 2011\.

 

Rwy’n hynod o falch ein bod bron wedi cyrraedd y targed hwn. Yn chwe mis cyntaf ein blwyddyn weithredu (Gorffennaf – Rhagfyr 2010\) llwyddwyd i leihau 1,564 o dunelli ar ein hallyriadau, sef 90% o’r targed ar gyfer y flwyddyn. Mae hyn yn golygu’n bod yn debygol o ragori ar ein targed erbyn diwedd ein blwyddyn weithredu 10:10\. 

 

O ran data perfformiad allyriadau nwyon tŷ gwydr gwirioneddol o drydan, tanwydd ffosil a teithio busnes yn chwe mis cyntaf blwyddyn weithredu 10:10 (Gorffennaf – Rhagfyr 2010\) roedd gostyngiad o 19% o’i gymharu â’r un cyfnod yn 2009 (y flwyddyn sylfaen). Mae hyn yn cynnwys gostyngiad o 13% mewn allyriadau trydan, gostyngiad o 23% mewn allyriadau defnydd nwy a gostyngiad o 36% mewn allyriadau teithio busnes. 

 

Waeth pa mor lwyddiannus ydym o ran lleihau allyriadau, mae rhai allyriadau na allwn eu lleihau oherwydd technolegau ac isadeiledd presennol. 

 

O fis Ebrill 2011, bydd gan Lywodraeth y Cynulliad Gynllun Buddsoddi Carbon a fydd yn codi tâl ar adrannau am bob taith awyr, pob taith fflyd Gweinidogol a phob taith car llog. Bydd y newidiadau hyn yn effeithio ar Weinidogion a swyddogion. 

 

Mae’r Cynllun yn adlewyrchu ymrwymiad a wnaed yn y Cod Gweinidogol yn 2007\. Bydd Adran yr Amgylchedd a Chynaliadwyedd yn rhoi arian am allyriadau pob adran dros y pedair blynedd diwethaf (2007\-11\), sef oddeutu £45,000\. Rhagwelir y bydd y Cynllun yn cynhyrchu hyd at £10,000 y flwyddyn, gan leihau o flwyddyn i flwyddyn wrth i ôl\-troed carbon y sefydliad leihau.

 

Caiff yr arian ei fuddsoddi mewn prosiectau arloesol lleihau allyriadau yn Affrica is\-Sahara sy’n gysylltiedig â’n rhaglen Cymru o Blaid Affrica. Cyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru fydd yn rhedeg y Cynllun.
