Roeddwn yn bresennol yng nghyfarfod cyntaf y Grŵp Rhyngweinidogol Sero\-Net, Ynni a Newid Hinsawdd ar 13 Hydref. 


Y Cadeirydd oedd y Gwir Anrh Kwasi Kwarteng AS y DU, y Gweinidog Gwladol dros Fusnes, Ynni a Thwf Glân.  Hefyd yn bresennol yr oedd Roseanna Cunningham, ASA, Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet dros yr Amgylchedd, Newid Hinsawdd a Diwygio Tir, Paul Wheelhouse ASA, y Gweinidog Ynni, Cysylltedd a’r Ynysoedd ac Edwin Pools ACD, y Gweinidog Amaeth, yr Amgylchedd a Materion Gwledig. 


Ymhlith pethau eraill, trafodwyd y negodiadau diweddaraf rhwng y DU a’r UE ar y cytundeb masnach.  Gofynnais i Lywodraeth y DU ymrwymo i Gynllun Masnachu Allyriadau (ETS) wedi’i gysylltu ag ETS yr UE ac os na fyddai hynny’n bosibl, dadleuais yn gryf o blaid ETS annibynnol ar gyfer y DU. Byddai’n hynny’n well na Threth Allyriadau Carbon, sy’n bolisi a ddargedwir y mae Llywodraeth y DU yn mynd amdano yr un pryd ac sy’n bolisi na fyddai gan Weinidogion a Senedd Cymru unrhyw gyfrifoldeb amdano na dylanwad arno. Gofynnais am gadarnhad pryd y câi penderfyniad ei wneud a sut y byddai Llywodraeth Cymru’n cyfrannu at y penderfyniad hwnnw.  Ni chefais ateb gan Weinidog y DU i’r cwestiynau hyn ac ni cheisiodd chwaith â thawelu fy ofnau yn y cyfarfod.


Gwnaethom drafod hefyd amcanion datgarboneiddio’r DU yng nghyd\-destun Cynhadledd COP26, ein hymrwymiadau rhyngwladol a thargedau datgarboneiddio’r DU a thargedau’r Gweinyddiaethau Datganoledig. 


Ysgrifennais at y Gweinidog Kwarteng am y materion hyn a materion eraill ar ôl y cyfarfod, gan gynnwys yr angen i drafod y Strategaeth Datgarboneiddio Ddiwydiannol â Llywodraeth Cymru a’r angen i sicrhau ariannu teg i ddiwydiannau Cymru, gan gynnwys ailgylchu cyllid yr ETS.

I attended the first meeting of the Net Zero, Energy and Climate Change Inter\-Ministerial Group (IMG) on 13 October. 


The meeting was chaired by the Rt Hon Kwasi Kwarteng MP, Minister of State for Business, Energy and Clean Growth. The meeting was also attended by Roseanna Cunningham MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Environment, Climate Change and Land Reform, Paul Wheelhouse MSP, Minister for Energy, Connectivity and the Islands and Edwin Poots MLA, Minister of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs.


The meeting included discussion of the latest UK\-EU trade negotiations. I sought commitment from the UK Government to implement a UK Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) linked to the EU ETS. If this is not possible, I made a strong case for a stand\-alone UK ETS to be pursued in preference to a Carbon Emissions Tax, a reserved policy which the UK Government is pursuing in parallel and over which Welsh Ministers and the Senedd would have no responsibility or influence. I sought confirmation as to when this decision would be taken and how the Welsh Government would be involved in that decision. The UK Minister did not answer these questions or provide the reassurance I was seeking during the meeting.


We also discussed the UK’s decarbonisation ambitions in the context of the forthcoming COP26 Conference, our international commitments, and the respective UK and Devolved Administration decarbonisation targets.


I wrote to Minister Kwarteng further regarding these and other issues following the meeting, including the need for engagement with the Welsh Government on the Industrial Decarbonisation Strategy and the need to ensure fair funding for Wales’ industries, including recycling of ETS revenues.
