English: To build on this, I am announcing today that, from 1 January 2022, all new-build, major refurbishment and extension projects requesting funding support through the programme will be required to demonstrate delivery of net-zero carbon in operation, plus a 20 per cent reduction on the amount of embodied carbon - that is, the carbon emitted through construction materials and the construction process. In addition, and in order to maximise the benefits of net-zero-carbon schools and colleges, all proposals will have ambitious plans for biodiversity, active travel and electric vehicle charging facilities. We are working with the active travel board to establish baseline requirements for new schools and colleges in support of 'Llwybr Newydd: the Wales Transport Strategy 2021'. To be clear, the net-zero-carbon requirement will apply to all business case proposals that have not received approval at outline business case stage by 1 January 2022. I understand, of course, that achieving this goal may impact on the overall cost of projects. However, the cost of taking no action is likely to be far greater. I therefore want to send a clear message to our young learners that we are listening, and we are taking action. To this end, I am expanding the net-zero carbon pilot, which will continue to fund 100 per cent of the additional costs to meet the net-zero carbon commitment under this current wave of investment. We need to ensure that sustainability and decarbonisation commitments become embedded in our everyday life. This is especially true for the younger members of our nation. We need to provide an effective way for them to learn about the environment around them, including the buildings that they are learning in. I saw examples of this during yesterday's visit. The project team have developed teaching resources that will provide an insight into net-zero carbon, which is both linked to our curriculum and provides a tangible link between the technology in their new school and how this affects the environment around them. It is important that we realise that these commitments are not just about investment in buildings, they are also about investment in the people who work and learn in them. Moving forward, I will expect local authorities and further education institutions, along with their design and delivery teams, to work closely with our children, young people and staff so that they have the opportunity to help design their learning environment. This is why I am also announcing today that we will make a sustainable schools challenge fund available to inspire delivery of a number of innovative, sustainable primary schools that are at one with their natural surroundings. This is a clear opportunity to build on schools' curricula, recognising that one of the four purposes of the Curriculum for Wales is to enable ethical, informed citizens. Sustainability is mandatory within the new Curriculum for Wales and will form part of every learner's education throughout their learning journey. Schools that benefit from the fund will involve learners in the development or implementation of sustainable and environmental solutions as part of their learning. I will be announcing further details of this exciting challenge fund shortly. Finally, whilst the twenty-first century schools and colleges programme has taken an organic approach towards sustainability and decarbonisation, I feel that now is the right time to look at changing our brand so that it makes a clear statement about our commitments for the environment and future generations. With that in mind, 1 January 2022 will see a new name for the programme, which will be 'sustainable communities for learning'.
Welsh: Er mwyn adeiladu ar hyn, rwy'n cyhoeddi heddiw, o 1 Ionawr 2022, y bydd yn ofynnol i bob prosiect adeiladu, adnewyddu ac ymestyn mawr sy'n gofyn am gymorth ariannol drwy'r rhaglen, ddangos sut y mae'n cyflawni carbon sero-net, ynghyd â gostyngiad o 20 y cant ar faint o garbon a ymgorfforir - hynny yw, y carbon a allyrrir drwy ddeunyddiau adeiladu a'r broses adeiladu. Hefyd, er mwyn manteisio i'r eithaf ar ysgolion a cholegau carbon sero-net, bydd gan bob cynnig gynlluniau uchelgeisiol ar gyfer bioamrywiaeth, teithio llesol a chyfleusterau gwefru cerbydau trydan. Rydym yn gweithio gyda'r bwrdd teithio llesol i sefydlu gofynion sylfaenol ar gyfer ysgolion a cholegau newydd i gefnogi 'Llwybr Newydd: Strategaeth Drafnidiaeth Cymru 2021'. I fod yn glir, bydd y gofyniad carbon sero-net yn berthnasol i bob cynnig achos busnes nad yw wedi cael ei gymeradwyo yn ystod y cam achos busnes amlinellol erbyn 1 Ionawr 2022. Rwy'n deall, wrth gwrs, y gallai cyflawni'r nod hwn effeithio ar gost gyffredinol prosiectau. Fodd bynnag, mae'r gost o beidio â chymryd unrhyw gamau yn debygol o fod yn llawer mwy. Felly, rwyf eisiau anfon neges glir at ein dysgwyr ifanc ein bod yn gwrando, ac ein bod yn gweithredu. I'r perwyl hwn, rwyf yn ehangu'r cynllun treialu carbon sero-net, a fydd yn parhau i ariannu 100 y cant o'r costau ychwanegol i gyflawni'r ymrwymiad carbon sero-net o dan y don bresennol hon o fuddsoddiad. Mae angen i ni sicrhau bod ymrwymiadau cynaliadwyedd a datgarboneiddio yn rhan annatod o'n bywyd bob dydd. Mae hyn yn arbennig o wir am aelodau iau ein cenedl. Mae angen i ni ddarparu ffordd effeithiol iddyn nhw ddysgu am yr amgylchedd o'u cwmpas, gan gynnwys yr adeiladau y maen nhw'n dysgu ynddyn nhw. Gwelais enghreifftiau o hyn yn ystod yr ymweliad ddoe. Mae tîm y prosiect wedi datblygu adnoddau addysgu a fydd yn rhoi cipolwg ar garbon sero-net, sydd yn gysylltiedig â'n cwricwlwm ac sy'n darparu cyswllt pendant rhwng y dechnoleg yn eu hysgol newydd a sut mae hyn yn effeithio ar yr amgylchedd o'u cwmpas. Mae'n bwysig ein bod yn sylweddoli nad yw'r ymrwymiadau hyn yn ymwneud â buddsoddi mewn adeiladau yn unig, maen nhw hefyd yn ymwneud â buddsoddi yn y bobl sy'n gweithio ac yn dysgu ynddyn nhw. Wrth symud ymlaen, byddaf yn disgwyl i awdurdodau lleol a sefydliadau addysg bellach, ynghyd â'u timau dylunio a darparu, weithio'n agos gyda'n plant, ein pobl ifanc a'n staff fel eu bod yn cael y cyfle i helpu i gynllunio eu hamgylchedd dysgu. Dyna pam yr wyf hefyd yn cyhoeddi heddiw y byddwn yn sicrhau bod cronfa her ysgolion cynaliadwy ar gael i ysbrydoli'r gwaith o gyflwyno nifer o ysgolion cynradd arloesol a chynaliadwy sydd mewn cytgord â'u hamgylchoedd naturiol. Dyma gyfle clir i adeiladu ar gwricwla ysgolion, gan gydnabod mai un o bedwar diben Cwricwlwm Cymru yw galluogi dinasyddion gwybodus a moesegol. Mae cynaliadwyedd yn orfodol o fewn Cwricwlwm newydd Cymru a bydd yn rhan o addysg pob dysgwr drwy gydol ei daith ddysgu. Bydd ysgolion sy'n elwa ar y gronfa yn cynnwys dysgwyr wrth ddatblygu neu weithredu atebion cynaliadwy ac amgylcheddol fel rhan o'u dysgu. Byddaf yn cyhoeddi rhagor o fanylion am y gronfa her gyffrous hon cyn bo hir. Yn olaf, er bod rhaglen ysgolion a cholegau'r unfed ganrif ar hugain wedi mabwysiadu ymagwedd organig tuag at gynaliadwyedd a datgarboneiddio, teimlaf mai dyma'r amser iawn i ystyried newid ein brand fel ei fod yn gwneud datganiad clir am ein hymrwymiadau ar gyfer yr amgylchedd a chenedlaethau'r dyfodol. Gyda hynny mewn golwg, bydd 1 Ionawr 2022 yn gweld enw newydd ar gyfer y rhaglen, sef 'cymunedau cynaliadwy ar gyfer dysgu'.
