Mae Eco\-Ysgolion yn un o'r rhaglenni ysgolion cynaliadwy byd\-eang mwyaf – yn ymgysylltu miliynau o blant ar draws 73 o wledydd, gan ddechrau yn yr ystafell ddosbarth ac ehangu i'r gymuned er mwyn ymgysylltu â'r genhedlaeth nesaf mewn dysgu sy’n seiliedig ar weithredu.

Yng Nghymru, mae 90 y cant o ysgolion ar draws pob awdurdod lleol yn cymryd rhan yn y rhaglen Eco\-Ysgolion. Mae hyn yn cyfateb i dros 400,000 o ddisgyblion \- un o'r cyfraddau cyfranogi uchaf yn y byd!

Mae'r rhaglen Eco\-Ysgolion yn grymuso ac yn ysbrydoli pobl ifanc i wneud newidiadau amgylcheddol cadarnhaol i'w hysgol a'u cymuned ehangach, ac mae'n cefnogi'r dysgwyr i gynllunio a gweithredu camau cadarnhaol gan hyrwyddo gweithredu amgylcheddol yn eu hysgol.

Mae'r pynciau hyn yn torri materion mawr, byd\-eang fel newid yn yr hinsawdd yn themâu mwy hylaw a phenodol, sy'n annog pobl ifanc i ystyried newidiadau amgylcheddol y gallant eu gwneud yn eu hysgol a’u bywydau bob dydd.

Ar daith ddiweddar i'r Senedd, cyfarfu ysgol gynradd Betws ym Mhen\-y\-bont ar Ogwr, sy'n un o'r miloedd o Eco\-Ysgolion yng Nghymru, ag Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Newid Hinsawdd a Materion Gwledig ac roeddent yn gyffrous iawn i glywed bod Cymru bellach yn ail yn y byd am gyfraddau ailgylchu, yn enwedig gan mai 'ymchwilio i ailgylchu' yw eu pwnc eco ar hyn o bryd.

Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, Huw Irranca\-Davies: 


> Roeddwn yn falch iawn o groesawu disgyblion Ysgol Gynradd Betws.
> 
> Dywedodd y disgyblion wrthyf sut maen nhw'n gwerthfawrogi'r gofod y tu allan i'w hysgol a pha mor bwysig mae hwnnw i fywyd gwyllt, addysg a chwarae.
> 
> Cefais glywed hefyd sut maen nhw'n gweithio'n galed i gyflawni eu pedwaredd gwobr y Faner Werdd \- a elwir hefyd yn wobr eco platinwm \- ac rwy'n dymuno'r gorau iddynt wrth iddynt fynd amdani.
> 
> Mae'n amlwg bod gan y disgyblion hyn, fel cynifer o bobl ifanc eraill ledled Cymru, frwdfrydedd gwirioneddol dros ailgylchu, diogelu natur a'r amgylchedd.

Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros Addysg, Lynne Neagle: 


> Mae cefnogi ein dysgwyr i fod yn ddinasyddion egwyddorol a gwybodus sydd wedi ymrwymo i gynaliadwyedd y blaned wrth wraidd ein cwricwlwm newydd. 
> 
> Dros y 30 mlynedd diwethaf mae eco\-ysgolion wedi ein helpu i gefnogi'r uchelgais hwn a rhoi mwy o wybodaeth i ddysgwyr am faterion amgylcheddol a sut y gallant helpu i ofalu am ein planed.
> 
> Mae gan Gymru uchelgeisiau uchel i fwy o bobl ifanc wneud newidiadau amgylcheddol cadarnhaol yn eu hysgol a'u cymunedau ehangach. Byddwn yn parhau i hyrwyddo eco\-ysgolion er mwyn ceisio cyflawni carreg filltir arall sef bod 100% o'n hysgolion yn eco\-ysgolion.

Eco\-Schools is one of the largest global sustainable school programmes – engaging millions of children across 73 countries, by starting in the classroom and expanding to the community to engage the next generation in action\-based learning.

In Wales, 90 per cent of schools across every local authority take part in Eco\-Schools. This equates to more than 400,000 pupils – one of the highest participation rates in the world!

The Eco\-Schools programme empowers and inspires young people to make positive environmental changes to their school and wider community, it supports the learners in planning and executing positive actions whilst championing environmental action in their school.

These topics break large, global issues like climate change into more manageable and directed themes that prompt young people to consider environmental changes that they can make in their school and everyday lives.

On a recent trip to the Senedd, Betws primary school in Bridgend who are one of the thousands of Eco\-Schools in Wales, met with the Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and Rural Affairs and were very excited to learn that Wales are now number two in the world for recycling rates, especially as their current eco topic is ‘investigating recycling’.

Cabinet Secretary, Huw Irranca\-Davies said: 


> I was really pleased to welcome the pupils of Betws primary School.
> 
> The pupils told me how they value the space outside their school and how important it is for wildlife, education, and play.
> 
> I also heard how they are working hard to achieve their 4th Green Flag award – also known as the platinum eco award \- and I wish them all the very best in achieving it.
> 
> It’s clear these pupils, like so many other young people around Wales, have a genuine enthusiasm for recycling, protecting nature and the environment.

Cabinet Secretary for Education, Lynne Neagle said: 


> Supporting our learners to become ethical and informed citizens, who are committed to the sustainability of the planet, is at the heart of our new curriculum. 
> 
> Over the last 30 years eco\-schools have helped us to support this ambition and provide learners with a greater knowledge of environmental issues and how they can help care for our planet.
> 
> Wales has high ambitions for more young people to make positive environmental changes within their school and wider communities. We will continue to champion eco\-schools so that our next milestone can be 100% of schools being an eco\-school.
