The Welsh Government and Plaid Cymru Cooperation Agreement (2021\)\[1] committed to “commission independent advice to examine potential pathways to net zero by 2035 – the current target date is 2050\. This will look at the impact on society and sectors of our economy and how any adverse effects may be mitigated, including how the costs and benefits are shared fairly”.


Following discussions with Sian Gwenllian MS, I had informed the Senedd that Dr. Jane Davidson has kindly agreed to Chair the work.


I am now able to inform the Senedd that the Net Zero Challenge Group has been created and held its first meeting on Wednesday 11 January.  Fourteen technical experts have joined the Group, selected from academia, public and private institutions, with expertise across all key sectors of our economy. They are joined by a number of observers and will be supported by the Wales Centre for Public Policy.


The first meeting considered how the Group will organise and undertake its work. We can expect the publication of further detail, following the Group’s second meeting in early February.


The Plaid Cymru Designated Member, Sian Gwenllian and I joined the first virtual meeting to thank the members of the group for undertaking this important work.


It is anticipated the group will publish a number of documents on the substance of their work between early 2023 and mid\-2024\. I will maintain regular contact with Dr. Davidson and Sian Gwenllian, through quarterly meetings and will update the Senedd as appropriate.


I am grateful to Dr. Davidson and the experts who comprise the Group, who are giving their time freely.

Ymrwymodd Cytundeb Cydweithio Llywodraeth Cymru a Phlaid Cymru (2021\[1] i "gomisiynu cyngor annibynnol i archwilio llwybrau posibl i sero\-net erbyn 2035 – y dyddiad targed presennol yw 2050\. Bydd hyn yn edrych ar effaith ein heconomi ar gymdeithas a sectorau a sut y gellir lliniaru unrhyw effeithiau andwyol, gan gynnwys sut mae'r costau a'r buddion yn cael eu rhannu'n deg".


Yn dilyn trafodaethau gyda Siân Gwenllian AS, hysbysais y Senedd fod Dr. Jane Davidson wedi cytuno i Gadeirio'r gwaith.


Gallaf bellach roi gwybod i'r Senedd bod y Grŵp Her Net Sero wedi ei greu ac wedi cynnal ei gyfarfod cyntaf ddydd Mercher 11 Ionawr.  Mae 14 o arbenigwyr technegol wedi ymuno â'r Grŵp, a ddewiswyd o'r byd academaidd, sefydliadau cyhoeddus a phreifat, gydag arbenigedd ar draws pob sector allweddol o'n heconomi. Mae nifer o sylwedyddion yn ymuno â nhw a bydd Canolfan Polisi Cyhoeddus Cymru yn eu cefnogi.


Ystyriodd y cyfarfod cyntaf sut y bydd y Grŵp yn trefnu ac yn ymgymryd â'i waith. Gallwn ddisgwyl cyhoeddi rhagor o fanylion, yn dilyn ail gyfarfod y Grŵp ddechrau Chwefror.


Gwnes i ac Aelod Dynodedig Plaid Cymru, Sian Gwenllian, ymuno â’r cyfarfod rhithwir cyntaf er mwyn diolch i aelodau’r grŵp am ymgymryd â’r gwaith pwysig hwn.


Y disgwyl yw y bydd y grŵp yn cyhoeddi nifer o ddogfennau ar sylwedd eu gwaith rhwng dechrau 2023 a chanol 2024\. Byddaf yn cadw cysylltiad rheolaidd gyda Dr Davidson a Sian Gwenllian trwy gyfarfodydd chwarterol a byddaf yn diweddaru'r Senedd fel y bo'n briodol.


Rwy'n ddiolchgar i Dr. Davidson a'r arbenigwyr sy'n rhan o’r Grŵp, sy'n rhoi eu hamser am ddim.


Mae aelodaeth y Grŵp Her Sero Net 2035 fel a ganlyn.
