Yn 2019, cyhoeddom argyfwng hinsawdd. Mae ein cynllun *Cymru Sero Net,* a gyhoeddwyd ym mis Hydref, yn nodi ein targed cyfreithiol trosfwaol i Gymru ddod yn sero net erbyn 2050, a’r uchelgais i’r sector gyhoeddus, gan gynnwys y sector iechyd a gofal cymdeithasol, fod yn sero net ar y cyd erbyn 2030\.


Ym mis Mawrth 2021, cyhoeddwyd *Cynllun Cyflawni Strategol ar gyfer Datgarboneiddio GIG Cymru 2021\-2030*, sy’n rhoi mandad clir ac uchelgeisiol i GIG Cymru gymryd camau i leihau allyriadau.


Dim ond y dechrau oedd hyn. Heddiw, rwy’n  lansio *Gofal Cymdeithasol yng Nghymru – Trywydd Datgarboneiddio tuag at Sero Net erbyn 2030*. Mae’n crynhoi’r camau cyntaf y bydd y sector gofal cymdeithasol yn eu cymryd tuag at bod yn sero net, gyda 15 o fentrau clir ac uchelgeisiol ond cyraeddadwy. Mae’n cwmpasu ystod o feysydd wedi’u targedu a fydd yn cefnogi’r sector i leihau ei allyriadau, gan gynnwys mwy o lythrennedd carbon, teithio llesol a cherbydau allyriadau isel, caffael ac effeithlonrwydd ynni adeiladau.


Mae Gofal Cymdeithasol yng Nghymru wedi wynebu heriau digynsail yn ystod y pandemig ond mae wedi dangos ymroddiad gwirioneddol i sicrhau bod pobl yn derbyn gofal effeithiol a thosturiol er mwyn diwallu eu hanghenion. Mae angen trin newid hinsawdd gyda’r un brys, oherwydd y bobl fwyaf agored i niwed yn ein cymdeithas fydd yn cael eu heffeithio fwyaf.


Rwy’n hyderus y bydd y trywydd hwn yn cefnogi’r sector wrth i ni symud tuag at bod yn sero net erbyn 2030, a gwn fod gofal cymdeithasol yn barod i chwarae ei ran.


Caiff y datganiad hwn ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi’r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf i’r Aelodau. Os hoffai’r Aelodau i mi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ar hyn pan fydd y Senedd yn dychwelyd, byddaf yn hapus i wneud hynny.


 







Translation:


 
In 2019, we declared a climate emergency. Our *Net Zero Wales* plan, which was published in October, sets out our overarching legal target for Wales to become net zero by 2050, and the ambition for the public sector, including health and social care, to be collectively net zero by 2030\.  


In March 2021, the *NHS Wales Decarbonisation Strategic Delivery Plan 2021\-2030* was published, providing a clear and ambitious mandate for NHS Wales to take action to reduce emissions. 


This was just the start. Today, I am launching the *Social Care in Wales – Decarbonisation Route map towards Net Zero by 2030*. It summarises the first steps the social care sector will take towards net zero, with 15 clear and ambitious but ultimately achievable initiatives. It covers a range of targeted areas that will support the sector to reduce its emissions, including increased carbon literacy, active travel and low emission vehicles, procurement and building energy efficiency.


Social care has faced unprecedented challenges during the pandemic but has shown real dedication to ensuring people receive effective and compassionate care to respond to their needs. Climate change needs to be treated with the same urgency, because it is the most vulnerable in our society who will be most affected by its impact.


I am confident this route map will support the sector as we move towards net zero by 2030 and I know social care is ready to play its part.


This statement is being issued during recess in order to keep members informed. Should members wish me to make a further statement or to answer questions on this when the Senedd returns I would be happy to do so.
