English: Thank you, Minister, for your statement today; I have a few questions arising. A whole-school approach is obviously one that ensures that a policy is embedded across school life, and indeed if it's done well, then that can be the case. However, there is a danger that a whole-school approach, if not well planned and adequately analysed, can, in fact, simply place additional measures on actual teachers to deliver mental well-being support, in addition to their existing curriculum, without additional time being allocated or additional training. What discussions have you had or do you intend on having with teachers and their trade unions to ensure that adequate time and training can be provided to deliver meaningful well-being support? And, secondly, a key stressor on our learners, which perhaps is not discussed as widely as it should be, is the impact that teacher stress has on them. Teaching is widely recognised as a highly stressful occupation; it would be naive of us to think that teachers don't convey this stress to their students at times. This can be in terms of teacher absence as a result of mental health issues, making continuity and quality of learning difficult, or students picking up on teacher stress during lessons and becoming stressed themselves as a result. Therefore, what work is being done to support teachers with their own mental health issues, and does the Minister agree with me that more needs to be done in this area?
Welsh: Diolch, Gweinidog, am eich datganiad heddiw; mae gennyf ychydig o gwestiynau'n codi. Mae'n amlwg bod dull ysgol gyfan yn un sy'n sicrhau bod polisi wedi'i wreiddio ar draws bywyd yr ysgol, ac yn wir os yw wedi'i wneud yn dda, yna gall hynny fod yn wir. Fodd bynnag, mae perygl y gall dull ysgol gyfan, os nad yw wedi'i gynllunio'n dda a'i ddadansoddi'n ddigonol, roi mesurau ychwanegol ar athrawon gwirioneddol i ddarparu cymorth lles meddwl, yn ogystal â'u cwricwlwm presennol, heb neilltuo amser ychwanegol na hyfforddiant ychwanegol. Pa drafodaethau yr ydych chi wedi'u cael neu a ydych yn bwriadu eu cael gydag athrawon a'u hundebau llafur i sicrhau y gellir darparu digon o amser a hyfforddiant i ddarparu cymorth lles ystyrlon? Ac, yn ail, un o'r prif straen ar ein dysgwyr, nad yw efallai'n cael ei drafod mor eang ag y dylai fod, yw'r effaith mae straen athrawon yn ei chael arnynt. Mae'r addysgu'n cael ei gydnabod yn eang fel galwedigaeth sy'n achosi straen mawr; byddai'n naïf i ni feddwl nad yw athrawon yn cyfleu'r straen hwn i'w myfyrwyr ar adegau. Gall hyn fod o ran absenoldeb athrawon o ganlyniad i faterion iechyd meddwl, gwneud parhad ac ansawdd y dysgu yn anodd, neu fyfyrwyr yn sylwi ar straen athrawon yn ystod gwersi ac yn profi straen eu hunain o ganlyniad. Felly, pa waith sy'n cael ei wneud i gefnogi athrawon gyda'u problemau iechyd meddwl eu hunain, ac a yw'r Gweinidog yn cytuno â mi fod angen gwneud mwy yn y maes hwn?
English: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Dirprwy Lywydd. Can I also put on record, on behalf of the Welsh Liberal Democrats, our best wishes to Andrew R.T. Davies in his recovery and thank him for his very bold and clear statements in terms of his mental health? Minister, I'd like to thank you for bringing forward this very important debate and issue. The mental well-being of our children and young people is so important, and I'm pleased that the Welsh Government are continuing with this whole-school approach to mental well-being, which is integral to the new curriculum, as developed by your predecessor, Welsh Liberal Democrat Kirsty Williams. So, thank you very much for profiling this this afternoon. I'd just like to highlight the issue around cross-cutting work, because 60 per cent of children and young people attempting to access specialist mental health services through CAMHS are waiting four weeks or more for their first appointment as of July 2021. There's been an increase to CAMHS services of around 350 per cent on the previous year's figures. So, my question and issue really are around how we can work across both health and education to ensure that there is a need to continue to support CAMHS services, but also ensure that children don't fall through the cracks, by making sure that we have adequate whole-school approaches in schools. And, secondly, I wonder if I could ask you what thought you have given to creating a network of mental health support over a 24-hour period, seven days a week for our children and young people. Thank you. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Dirprwy Lywydd. A gaf i hefyd gofnodi, ar ran Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol Cymru, ein dymuniadau gorau i Andrew R.T. Davies yn ei adferiad a diolch iddo am ei ddatganiadau beiddgar a chlir iawn o ran ei iechyd meddwl? Gweinidog, hoffwn ddiolch i chi am gyflwyno'r ddadl a'r mater pwysig iawn hwn. Mae lles meddwl ein plant a'n pobl ifanc mor bwysig, ac rwy'n falch bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn parhau â'r dull ysgol gyfan hwn o ymdrin â lles meddyliol, sy'n rhan annatod o'r cwricwlwm newydd, fel y datblygwyd gan eich rhagflaenydd, o blaid Democratiaid Rhyddfrydol Cymru, Kirsty Williams. Felly, diolch yn fawr iawn am broffilio hyn y prynhawn yma. Hoffwn dynnu sylw at y mater sy'n ymwneud â gwaith trawsbynciol, oherwydd mae 60 y cant o blant a phobl ifanc sy'n ceisio cael gafael ar wasanaethau iechyd meddwl arbenigol drwy CAMHS yn aros pedair wythnos neu fwy am eu hapwyntiad cyntaf a hynny ym mis Gorffennaf 2021. Bu cynnydd o tua 350 y cant i wasanaethau CAMHS ar ffigurau'r flwyddyn flaenorol. Felly, mae fy nghwestiwn a'r mater yn ymwneud mewn gwirionedd â sut y gallwn ni weithio ar draws iechyd ac addysg i sicrhau bod angen i barhau i gefnogi gwasanaethau CAMHS, ond hefyd sicrhau nad yw plant yn syrthio drwy'r craciau, drwy sicrhau bod gennym ddulliau ysgol gyfan digonol mewn ysgolion. Ac, yn ail, tybed a gaf i ofyn i chi a ydych chi wedi ystyried creu rhwydwaith o gymorth iechyd meddwl dros gyfnod o 24 awr, saith diwrnod yr wythnos i'n plant a'n pobl ifanc. Diolch. Diolch yn fawr iawn.
English: Thank you, Minister. We will now suspend proceedings to allow changeovers in the Siambr. If you are leaving the Siambr, please do so promptly. The bell will be rung two minutes before proceedings restart, and any Members who are arriving after a changeover should wait until then before entering the Siambr.
Welsh: Diolch, Gweinidog. Byddwn nawr yn atal y trafodion dros dro er mwyn caniatáu newidiadau yn y Siambr. Os ydych yn gadael y Siambr, gwnewch hynny'n brydlon. Bydd y gloch yn cael ei chanu dau funud cyn i'r trafodion ailgychwyn. Dylai unrhyw Aelodau sy'n cyrraedd ar ôl y newid aros tan hynny cyn mynd i mewn i'r Siambr.
English: The next item is the statement by the Minister for Climate Change on nature, biodiversity and local places for nature. I call on the Minister for Climate Change to make her statement - Julie James.
Welsh: Yr eitem nawr, felly, yw'r datganiad gan y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd ar natur, bioamrywiaeth a lleoedd lleol ar gyfer natur. Dwi'n galw ar y Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd i wneud ei datganiad - Julie James.
English: I would like to thank the Minister for this statement, which I also agree is very timely. I agree with the Minister that we need to develop a more sustainable relationship with the natural world and that the relationship begins in our local communities. We all need to be a part of a collective action to respond to the climate change and nature emergency. We cannot leave it to someone else; those of us with gardens can plant trees and allow parts of our gardens to grow wild. These are actions all of us can take, or nearly all of us can take, now. I further welcome the nature network initiative, with the first 29 projects benefiting more than 100 habitats and species of international significance. It's a good start. Does the Minister agree with me that all of us who can should plant trees in our garden, and we should leave some of our gardens to grow wild? My major concern is the loss of apex predators, such as owls and foxes, which, were it to continue, would distort the ecosystem. Does the Minister share my concern, and, if so, what action will the Welsh Government be taking to support apex predators? Because if you don't have apex predators, you have animals lower down the order, such as rats, which will grow and grow and grow.
Welsh: Hoffwn ddiolch i'r Gweinidog am y datganiad hwn, ac rwyf hefyd yn cytuno ei fod yn amserol iawn. Cytunaf â'r Gweinidog fod angen inni ddatblygu perthynas fwy cynaliadwy â'r byd naturiol a bod y berthynas yn dechrau yn ein cymunedau lleol. Mae angen i bob un o'n cymunedau fod yn rhan o weithredu ar y cyd i ymateb i'r newid hinsawdd ac argyfwng natur. Ni allwn ei adael i rywun arall; gall y rhai ohonom ni sydd â gerddi, blannu coed a chaniatáu i rannau o'n gerddi dyfu'n wyllt. Mae'r rhain yn gamau y gall pob un ohonom ni eu cymryd, neu gall bron pob un ohonom ni eu cymryd, nawr. Rwy'n croesawu hefyd menter y rhwydwaith natur, gyda'r 29 prosiect cyntaf o fudd i fwy na 100 o gynefinoedd a rhywogaethau o arwyddocâd rhyngwladol. Mae'n ddechrau da. A yw'r Gweinidog yn cytuno â mi y dylai pob un ohonom ni sy'n gallu, blannu coed yn ein gerddi, a dylem adael rhywfaint o'n gerddi ni i dyfu'n wyllt? Fy mhrif bryder yw colli prif ysglyfaethwyr fel tylluanod a llwynogod, a fyddai, pe bai'n parhau, yn aflunio'r ecosystem. A yw'r Gweinidog yn rhannu fy mhryder, ac, os felly, pa gamau y bydd Llywodraeth Cymru yn eu cymryd i gefnogi'r prif ysglyfaethwyr hyn? Oherwydd os nad oes gennych brif ysglyfaethwyr, mae gennych anifeiliaid yn is i lawr y gadwyn, fel llygod mawr, a fydd yn tyfu ac yn tyfu ac yn tyfu.
English: As the Minister will be well aware, blue carbon ecosystems have been identified as having enormous potential to store carbon, and exhibit carbon burial rates of up to 30 times higher than forests, which, incidentally, receive a disproportionate amount of attention for their capacity to store carbon. As we know, Wales has a very long coastline; it has more than 3 million hectares of blue carbon habitat, such as coastal salt marshes and seagrass beds. Expanding them and restoring sites once taken over by farms and industry could massively increase the amount of carbon stored and help meet our 2050 carbon target. I have no doubt that the Minister will know about the seagrass pilot scheme in Dale, Pembrokeshire, where planting seagrass beds has been shown to have many benefits in addition to carbon storage, such as increasing biodiversity and helping to offer a natural and resilient infrastructure against storm surges. In your speech last week, you stated that there was a lot of money available for tree-planting projects in Wales. Today, you have mentioned your commitment to coastal habitat regeneration, and the First Minister also today mentioned the importance of investing in maritime technologies. With this in mind, and given the potential for seagrass to absorb so much more carbon than trees, can the Minister make a commitment to financially prioritising blue carbon ecosystems? Thank you.
Welsh: Fel y gŵyr y Gweinidog yn dda, nodwyd bod gan ecosystemau carbon glas botensial enfawr i storio carbon, ac arddangos cyfraddau claddu carbon hyd at 30 gwaith yn uwch na choedwigoedd, sydd, gyda llaw, yn cael cryn sylw anghymesur am eu gallu i storio carbon. Fel y gwyddom ni, mae gan Gymru arfordir hir iawn; mae ganddi fwy na 3 miliwn hectar o gynefin carbon glas, fel morfeydd heli arfordirol a gwelyau morwellt. Gallai eu hehangu nhw ac adfer safleoedd a feddiannwyd gan ffermydd a diwydiant, gynyddu'n aruthrol faint o garbon sy'n cael ei storio a helpu i gyrraedd ein targed carbon yn 2050. Heb amheuaeth fe fydd y Gweinidog yn gwybod am y cynllun treialu morwellt yn Dale, sir Benfro, lle dangoswyd bod plannu gwelyau morwellt yn cynnig llawer o fanteision yn ogystal â storio carbon, fel cynyddu bioamrywiaeth a helpu i gynnig seilwaith naturiol a chydnerth yn erbyn ymchwydd stormydd. Yn eich araith yr wythnos diwethaf, fe wnaethoch chi ddweud bod llawer o arian ar gael ar gyfer prosiectau plannu coed yng Nghymru. Heddiw, rydych wedi sôn am eich ymrwymiad i adfywio cynefinoedd arfordirol, a soniodd y Prif Weinidog heddiw hefyd am bwysigrwydd buddsoddi mewn technolegau morol. Gyda hyn mewn golwg, ac o ystyried y potensial i forwellt amsugno cymaint mwy o garbon na choed, a all y Gweinidog ymrwymo i flaenoriaethu ecosystemau carbon glas yn ariannol? Diolch.
English: Minister, you referenced the benefit of nature on mental health during your statement, but we've also seen and you referenced anxiety, and we've seen the negative impact of the climate and nature emergency on the mental health of people living in communities that have already been impacted by these changes and live in fear of being impacted again. I know that Delyth Jewell raised this with the Minister for education earlier, but I would like to see that emphasis on support available and wondered is there any funding available to support people's mental health in at-risk communities as part of proposals. I was also pleased to hear in the statement that you are prioritising nature-based flood management schemes in response to the climate and nature emergencies. As the area that was worst hit by flooding in 2020, what specific plans does the Welsh Government have to utilise nature-based solutions to mitigate flooding and other climate-related hazards in Rhondda Cynon Taf? And how will communities across Rhondda Cynon Taf be empowered to be part of delivering such schemes? A lot of the action and response to recovery from the floods to date have been led by organisations or authorities rather than community led, with very little communication with residents or opportunities for them to be part of collective action. When will they see this changing from your statement today?
Welsh: Gweinidog, fe wnaethoch chi gyfeirio at ba mor fuddiol yw natur i iechyd meddwl yn ystod eich datganiad, ond rydym hefyd wedi gweld ac fe wnaethoch chi gyfeirio at bryder, ac rydym wedi gweld effaith negyddol yr argyfwng hinsawdd a natur ar iechyd meddwl pobl sy'n byw mewn cymunedau sydd eisoes wedi dioddef effaith y newidiadau hyn ac sy'n ofni dioddef yr un effaith eto. Gwn fod Delyth Jewell wedi codi hyn gyda'r Gweinidog addysg yn gynharach, ond hoffwn weld y pwyslais hwnnw ar y cymorth sydd ar gael a tybed a oes unrhyw gyllid ar gael i gefnogi iechyd meddwl pobl mewn cymunedau sydd mewn perygl fel rhan o gynigion. Roeddwn hefyd yn falch o glywed yn y datganiad eich bod yn blaenoriaethu cynlluniau rheoli llifogydd sy'n seiliedig ar natur mewn ymateb i'r argyfyngau hinsawdd a natur. Fel yr ardal a gafodd ei tharo waethaf gan lifogydd yn 2020, pa gynlluniau penodol sydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru i ddefnyddio atebion sy'n seiliedig ar natur i liniaru llifogydd a pheryglon eraill sy'n gysylltiedig â'r hinsawdd yn Rhondda Cynon Taf? A sut gellir grymuso cymunedau ar draws Rhondda Cynon Taf i fod yn rhan o gyflawni cynlluniau o'r fath? Mae llawer o'r camau gweithredu a'r ymateb i adferiad yn dilyn y llifogydd hyd yma wedi'u harwain gan sefydliadau neu awdurdodau yn hytrach na chael eu harwain gan y gymuned, gydag ychydig iawn o gyfathrebu â phreswylwyr neu ychydig iawn o gyfleoedd iddyn nhw fod yn rhan o weithredu ar y cyd. Pryd byddan nhw'n gweld hyn yn newid o'ch datganiad heddiw?
English: In your statement, you refer to 'improving the condition of habitats to enable some of our most iconic species to have greater freedom to roam', and I was grateful that one of the species you named was the curlew. Further to your very positive and welcome response to Gylfinir Cymru / Curlew Wales's action plan for the recovery of the curlew, do you recognise that this is about a lot more than freedom to roam, that, if we don't do something urgently, the curlew will disappear as a breeding population in Wales in just 12 years, but, if we do, there'll be multiple and multispecies benefits contributing positively to the sustainability of over 80 other species, and we need to embrace the farming population across Wales who have joined this agenda, and work with them and other agencies to make this survival a priority for all?
Welsh: Yn eich datganiad, rydych yn gyfeirio at wella 'wella cyflwr cynefinoedd i alluogi rhai o'n rhywogaethau mwyaf eiconig i gael mwy o ryddid i grwydro', ac roeddwn i'n ddiolchgar mai un o'r rhywogaethau a enwyd gennych chi oedd y gylfinir. Yn dilyn eich ymateb cadarnhaol a groesewir yn fawr i gynllun gweithredu Gylfinir Cymru ar gyfer adfer y gylfinir, a ydych yn cydnabod bod hyn yn ymwneud â llawer mwy na rhyddid i grwydro, sef bydd y gylfinir yn diflannu fel poblogaeth fridio yng Nghymru mewn dim ond 12 mlynedd, os na wnawn ni rywbeth ar frys, ond, os gwnawn ni rywbeth, bydd manteision lluosog ac amlrywogaeth yn cyfrannu'n gadarnhaol at gynaliadwyedd dros 80 o rywogaethau eraill, ac mae angen inni groesawu'r boblogaeth ffermio ledled Cymru sydd wedi ymuno â'r agenda hon, a gweithio gyda nhw ac asiantaethau eraill i wneud y goroesiad hwn yn flaenoriaeth i bawb?
English: Diolch, Mark - thank you, Mark. I was very pleased that you facilitated introduction to the curlew group for me. We had an excellent meeting, and we were very much on the same page in terms of what needs to be done. As you heard in my statement, I'm looking for examplar schemes across Wales, where groups have already come together with a very good plan for what they want to do. While I met with the curlew group, I asked them to have another look at their plan and see if it could be brought forward, and I'm really looking forward to hearing back from them. And, as I said, I'm very grateful to you for having effected the introduction and, indeed, for your championing of the species.
Welsh: Diolch, Mark. Roeddwn i'n falch iawn eich bod wedi hwyluso'r cyflwyniad i'r grŵp gylfinir i mi. Cawsom gyfarfod rhagorol, ac yr oeddem yn canu o'r un llyfr emynau o ran yr hyn y mae angen ei wneud. Fel y clywsoch chi yn fy natganiad, rwy'n chwilio am gynlluniau enghreifftiol ledled Cymru, lle mae grwpiau eisoes wedi dod ynghyd â chynllun da iawn ar gyfer yr hyn y maen nhw eisiau ei wneud. Pan wnes i gyfarfod â'r grŵp gylfinir, gofynnais iddyn nhw gael golwg arall ar eu cynllun a gweld a ellid ei ddwyn ymlaen, ac rwy'n edrych ymlaen yn fawr at glywed yn ôl ganddyn nhw. Ac, fel y dywedais i, rwy'n ddiolchgar iawn i chi am weithredu'r cyflwyniad ac, yn wir, am fod yn hyrwyddwr y rhywogaeth.
English: I've been trying to work with Network Rail to allow for some brightening up of this area, with perhaps graffiti artists and so on, but they say that their criteria are such that unless there's a structural issue, they have no funding for those sorts of schemes. I wonder if there's anything you might do to work with them to address those issues and limitations.
Welsh: Rwyf wedi ceisio gweithio gyda Network Rail er mwyn ceisio bywiogi rhywfaint ar yr ardal hon, gydag efallai artistiaid graffiti ac ati, ond maen nhw'n dweud oherwydd eu meini prawf, oni bai bod problem strwythurol, nad oes ganddyn nhw gyllid ar gyfer y mathau hynny o gynlluniau. Tybed a oes unrhyw beth y gallech chi ei wneud i weithio gyda nhw i fynd i'r afael â'r problemau a'r cyfyngiadau hynny.
English: I really welcome today's funding announcement. Across the UK, we've seen a 44 per cent decline of 770 species as a result of habitat loss and environmental challenges. The nature networks fund demonstrates quite clearly that the Welsh Government is leading the way in tackling the biodiversity and nature crisis we face. The climate emergency and nature crisis need to be treated with the same urgency. I say that because, very often, people talk about carbon reduction, but miss out the nature crisis that needs to be treated the same way. These projects, which include £1.5 million for the North Wales Wildlife Trust, are essential in protecting our biodiversity as well as sharing information on how and why we need to protect our future. The statement also recognises the power of communities, which is paramount, and since being elected, I've met with numerous voluntary organisations and seen the amazing work local volunteers do. But at the heart of this has to be a strong leader, backed up by core funding to help community projects thrive, and the nature networks fund will certainly provide this. I recently visited the National Botanic Garden of Wales to hear from researchers about the incredible scientific work they are doing, saving pollinators using DNA evidence. Another example of how research in Wales -
Welsh: Rwy'n croesawu'n fawr y cyhoeddiad am gyllid heddiw. Ledled y DU, rydym wedi gweld gostyngiad o 44 y cant mewn 770 o rywogaethau o ganlyniad i golli cynefinoedd a heriau amgylcheddol. Mae'r gronfa rhwydweithiau natur yn dangos yn gwbl glir bod Llywodraeth Cymru yn arwain y ffordd o ran mynd i'r afael â'r argyfwng bioamrywiaeth a natur sy'n ein hwynebu. Mae angen trin yr argyfwng hinsawdd a natur gyda'r un brys. Rwy'n dweud hynny oherwydd, yn aml iawn, mae pobl yn sôn am leihau allyriadau carbon, ond yn anghofio'r argyfwng natur y mae angen ei drin yn yr un ffordd. Mae'r prosiectau hyn, sy'n cynnwys £1.5 miliwn ar gyfer Ymddiriedolaeth Natur Gogledd Cymru, yn hanfodol er mwyn diogelu ein bioamrywiaeth yn ogystal â rhannu gwybodaeth am sut a pham y mae angen i ni ddiogelu ein dyfodol. Mae'r datganiad hefyd yn cydnabod grym cymunedau, sy'n hollbwysig, ac ers cael fy ethol, rwyf wedi cyfarfod â nifer o sefydliadau gwirfoddol ac wedi gweld y gwaith anhygoel y mae gwirfoddolwyr lleol yn ei wneud. Ond wrth wraidd hyn mae'n rhaid cael arweinydd cryf, ynghyd â chymorth cyllid craidd i helpu prosiectau cymunedol i ffynnu, a bydd y gronfa rhwydweithiau natur yn sicr yn darparu hyn. Yn ddiweddar ymwelais â Gardd Fotaneg Genedlaethol Cymru i glywed gan ymchwilwyr am y gwaith gwyddonol anhygoel y maen nhw'n ei wneud, gan achub pryfed peillio drwy ddefnyddio tystiolaeth DNA. Enghraifft arall o sut y mae ymchwil yng Nghymru -
English: - is leading the way in tackling biodiversity loss. But I was concerned to hear that two of the three scientists I met would see their funding cut, one in March and one in June next year, because it comes from the European agricultural fund, which comes to an end. Does the Minister agree with me that the funding announced today shows Welsh Government's commitment, which is great, but concern regarding the challenges that Brexit poses regarding European funding and sustainability of this really important scientific research into biodiversity and the DNA research? Thank you.
Welsh: - yn arwain y ffordd o ran mynd i'r afael â cholli bioamrywiaeth. Ond roeddwn yn bryderus o glywed y byddai dau o'r tri gwyddonydd y cyfarfûm â nhw yn gweld eu cyllid yn cael ei dorri, un ym mis Mawrth ac un ym mis Mehefin y flwyddyn nesaf, oherwydd daw o gronfa amaethyddol Ewrop, sy'n dod i ben. A yw'r Gweinidog yn cytuno â mi fod yr arian a gyhoeddwyd heddiw yn dangos ymrwymiad Llywodraeth Cymru, sy'n wych, ond hefyd pryder ynghylch yr heriau y mae Brexit yn eu hachosi o ran cyllid Ewropeaidd a chynaliadwyedd yr ymchwil wyddonol bwysig iawn hon i fioamrywiaeth a'r ymchwil DNA? Diolch.
