     Mae’r trydydd diweddariad ar y camau yng Nghynllun Gweithredu’r Strategaeth Amgylcheddol wedi’i lansio heddiw, 21 Rhagfyr 2011\. Mae’r Adroddiad yn adlewyrchu amrywiaeth y gweithgarwch sy’n mynd ymlaen i gefnogi amgylchedd naturiol Cymru, annog mwy o bobl i fwynhau’r arfordir a chefn gwlad a thynnu pobl a chymunedau’n nes at ei gilydd yn eu hamgylchedd a’u cynefinoedd lleol.

 Yn yr adroddiad rydym wedi rhoi manylion yr hyn rydym wedi’i wneud mewn ymateb i ddangosyddion Cyflwr yr Amgylchedd, enghreifftiau o rannau eraill o Lywodraeth Cymru am sut maent yn cyfrannu tuag at y Strategaeth Amgylcheddol a manylion y gwaith a wneir o dan Ddeddf yr Amgylchedd Naturiol a Chymunedau Gwledig 2006 i warchod bioamrywiaeth.

 Ni fyddai’r hyn rydym wedi’i gyflawni wedi bod yn bosibl heb ymrwymiad a chymorth amrywiaeth eang o randdeiliaid, gan gynnwys aelodau o Gyswllt Amgylchedd Cymru, Cyngor Cefn Gwlad Cymru, Asiantaeth yr Amgylchedd Cymru, Comisiwn Coedwigaeth Cymru, Cymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru a Chyngor Gweithredu Gwirfoddol Cymru. Rwy’n ddiolchgar i bob un ohonynt am eu gwaith caled.

 Mae’r Cynllun Gweithredu cyfredol wedi bod yn werthfawr gan sicrhau cyfraniad cyrff ac unigolion sy’n sicrhau bod amgylchedd Cymru yn cael ei warchod a’i gynnal. Er y daw’r Cynllun Gweithredu i ben eleni, bydd canlyniadau’r Strategaeth Amgylcheddol yn parhau’n berthnasol i’n strategaethau allweddol, gan helpu i lywio gweithgarwch hyd 2026\.

 Cyn hir byddwn yn rhyddhau Papur Gwyrdd ar ein cynlluniau ar gyfer Fframwaith yr Amgylchedd Naturiol. O ran yr ecosystem, mae’r Fframwaith yn ystyried sut rydym yn rheoli’r gwasanaethau a ddarperir drwy’r amgylchedd naturiol. Rwy’n gobeithio y gwelwn yr un lefel ymrwymiad i’r strategaeth hon ag i Gynllun Gweithredu’r Strategaeth Amgylcheddol bresennol er mwyn creu amgylchedd iachach, fwy cynhyrchiol, sy’n fwy abl i ddelio â phroblemau yng Nghymru.

 Caiff y datganiad hwn ei gyhoeddi yn ystod y toriad er mwyn rhoi gwybodaeth i'r aelodau. Os bydd yr aelodau am i mi wneud datganiad pellach neu ateb cwestiynau ynghylch hyn pan fydd y Cynulliad yn ailymgynnull byddwn yn hapus i wneud hynny.

   
 







Translation:


 
The third update against actions from the Environment Strategy Action Plan has been launched today, 21 December 2011\.  The Report reflects the range of activity to support Wales’ natural environment, encourage greater access to the coast and countryside and bring people and communities more closely together with their local environment and habitats.


In the report we have provided details of the progress made against the State of the Environment indicators, examples from other parts of the Welsh Government about how they are contributing towards the Environment Strategy and details of work done under the Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 to conserve biodiversity.


The good progress we have made would not have been possible without the commitment and support of a wide range of stakeholders including members of the Wales Environment Link, the Countryside Council for Wales, Environment Agency Wales, Forestry Commission Wales, Welsh Local Government Association and Wales Council for Voluntary Action.  I am grateful to each for all their hard work.


The current Action Plan has served us well in securing the engagement of organisations and individuals that ensure that Wales’ environment is protected and maintained.  Though the Action Plan will end this year, the Environment Strategy’s outcomes will remain relevant to our key strategies helping to shape activity up to 2026\.


We will soon be releasing a Green Paper on our emerging thinking on the Natural Environment Framework.  The Framework adopts an ecosystem approach for how we manage the services that are provided to us via the natural environment.  I hope that it will receive the same level of commitment as the current Environment Strategy Action Plan has received to help deliver a healthier, resilient and more productive environment for Wales.


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 Assembly returns I would be happy to do so.
