English: Thank you, Llywydd. Well, a little over a week ago, this Senedd voted to declare a climate emergency - an important symbolic step. It was Plaid Cymru that had tabled the motion, and, shortly before that, the Government stated that they were willing to make that statement. It was a very important symbolic statement, and I look forward to discussing that with environmental campaigners in my old school, Ysgol David Hughes, tomorrow. But, whilst the symbolism was significant, our willingness to take action will be the measure of our success in tackling that emergency. And, in the Chamber yesterday, we listened to a statement from the Deputy Minister for Economy and Transport on active travel. The Welsh term is better than the English, ' teithio llesol ', rather than active travel. ' Llesol ' in Welsh means 'beneficial', and, through that legislation, what we're doing is to ask people to make travel choices that are more beneficial to them - in terms of their health, yes, but we are also talking about benefiting the environment. The Minister gave this statistic yesterday: 13 per cent of climate change emissions in Wales come from transport, and virtually all of those come from the private car with its petrol or diesel engines. Now, yesterday, we had a discussion on how to help people to choose active travel, either on a bike or walking. That's one way of tackling emissions. More significant is encouraging people to use public transport, to get out of their cars and to choose mass transport options that are kinder to the environment. And I do agree 100 per cent with that. We must invest in creating networks and travel systems that are attractive, efficient, clean, that can drive that kind of change in the way we get from A to B. We can also discuss ways of preventing journeys from A to B, so that people can work at point A and live there, too, rather than having to travel to point B in the first place. But, in the midst of all of this, the private vehicle will still be an important feature of our transport landscape for years to come. There will be changes. There will be more car sharing, hopefully; automation will take place, whereby vehicles can arrive without a driver. But, for some years to come, I'm sure we will have cars on our roads. And not just cars, of course; there'll be vans, goods lorries, heavy goods vehicles maintaining public services, and so on and so forth. Therefore, we have to make them cleaner. Outside the Senedd earlier today it was wonderful to welcome Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan and Renault, who were demonstrating their latest electric vehicles. The technology is making progress very quickly, with wholly-electric vehicles being able to travel further - 200 miles and more on one charge, and 300 for some. Charging can take place more quickly, but there are urgent steps that need to be taken in order to normalise low-emission vehicles. Earlier today, I also published a report that drew on my visit to Scotland and outlined the lessons that we can learn from Scotland for the future of electric vehicles in Wales. I presented a copy to the Chair of the economy committee, Russell George, and I'm grateful to that committee for carrying out an inquiry in this area. I hope that my report will be of some use to the committee. But, perhaps, the main thing I learned from Scotland was that we need a clear focus, a particular strategy. We need determination to drive that strategy forward, to introduce far more charging points, to ensure that they work, to gather data on their usage, and so on and so forth, and also to provide further incentives in different sectors - taxis, for example - to think how we can combine the use of electric vehicles in our cities.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. Wel, wythnos ac ychydig yn ôl, mi wnaeth y Senedd yma bleidleisio i ddatgan argyfwng hinsawdd - cam symbolaidd pwysig. Plaid Cymru oedd wedi cyflwyno'r cynnig, ac, ar drothwy hynny, mi wnaeth y Llywodraeth ddatgan eu bod nhw'n barod i wneud y datganiad. Mi oedd o'n ddatganiad symbolaidd pwysig iawn, a dwi'n edrych ymlaen at drafod hynny efo ymgyrchwyr amgylcheddol yn fy hen ysgol, Ysgol David Hughes, yfory. Ond, tra bod y symbolaeth yn arwyddocaol, yn ein parodrwydd i weithredu mai mesur ein difrifoldeb ni ynglŷn â mynd i'r afael â'r argyfwng yna. Yma yn y Siambr brynhawn ddoe, mi oedden ni'n gwrando ar ddatganiad gan y Dirprwy Weinidog dros yr Economi a Thrafnidiaeth ar deithio llesol. Mae'r term Cymraeg yn well na'r term Saesneg, a dweud y gwir: ' active travel' ydy o'n Saesneg. Mae 'llesol' yn Gymraeg yn golygu ' beneficial', a, drwy'r Ddeddf yna, beth dŷn ni'n ei wneud ydy gofyn i bobl wneud dewisiadau teithio sy'n fwy llesol iddyn nhw eu hunain - o ran eu hiechyd, ie, ond hefyd dŷn ni'n sôn am fod yn llesol i'r amgylchedd. Mi roddodd y Gweinidog ystadegyn inni ddoe: mae 13 y cant o allyriadau newid hinsawdd yng Nghymru, meddai fo, yn dod o drafnidiaeth, ac maen nhw i gyd, bron, yn dod o'r car preifat efo'i beiriannau petrol neu ddisel. Ddoe, mi gafon ni drafodaeth ar sut i helpu pobl i ddewis teithio dan eu stêm eu hunain - ar droed neu ar gefn beic - dyna ichi un ffordd o daclo allyriadau. Yn fwy arwyddocaol wedyn mai annog pobl i ddefnyddio trafnidiaeth dorfol, trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus, cael allan o'u ceir, dewis opsiynau teithio torfol sy'n garedicach i'r amgylchedd. Dwi'n cytuno 100 y cant efo hynny; mae'n rhaid buddsoddi mewn creu rhwydweithiau a systemau teithio cyhoeddus deniadol, effeithiol, glân, sy'n gallu gyrru'r math yna o newid yn y ffordd dŷn ni'n symud o A i B. Mi allwn ni hefyd drafod ffyrdd o atal mwy o siwrneiau A i B fel bod pobl yn gweithio ym mhwynt A ac yn byw yno, yn hytrach na gorfod mynd i bwynt B o gwbl. Ond, yng nghanol y cyfan, mae'r car preifat yn dal yn mynd i fod yn nodwedd bwysig o'n tirwedd trafnidiaeth ni am sbel. Mi fydd yna newid. Mi fydd yna fwy o rannu ceir, gobeithio; mi ddaw awtomeiddio, lle bydd ceir yn cyrraedd heb yrrwr ynddyn nhw. Ond mi fydd yna, am rai blynyddoedd dwi'n siŵr, geir ar ein ffyrdd ni. Ac nid dim ond ceir, wrth gwrs; mi fydd yna faniau, lorïau nwyddau ac mi fydd yna gerbydau trwm yn cynnal a chadw ein gwasanaethau cyhoeddus ac yn y blaen. Felly, mae'n rhaid eu gwneud nhw'n lanach. Y tu allan i'r Senedd yma'n gynharach heddiw, mi roedd hi'n braf croesawu cwmnïau Audi, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Nissan a Renault i ddangos eu cerbydau trydan diweddaraf nhw. Mae'r dechnoleg yn symud ymlaen yn gyflym. Ceir llwyr drydanol yn gallu teithio ymhellach - 200 milltir a mwy ar un gwefriad; 300 a mwy, rhai, a gwefru'n digwydd yn gyflymach. Ond, mae yna gamau brys sydd angen eu cymryd er mwyn normaleiddio cerbydau allyriadau isel iawn. Yn gynharach heddiw hefyd, mi wnes i gyhoeddi adroddiad a oedd yn dilyn ymweliad gen i i'r Alban yn amlinellu'r gwersi y gallwn ni ddysgu o'r Alban ar gyfer dyfodol ceir trydan yng Nghymru. Mi ges i gyflwyno copi i Gadeirydd pwyllgor yr economi, Russell George, a dwi'n ddiolchgar i'r pwyllgor hwnnw am gynnal ymchwiliad yn y maes hwn. Dwi'n gobeithio bydd fy adroddiad i'n rhywfaint o ddefnydd i'r pwyllgor. Ond, efallai mai'r prif beth ddysgais i o'r Alban oedd bod angen ffocws clir a strategaeth benodol. Mae angen penderfynoldeb i yrru'r strategaeth honno'n ei blaen, i gyflwyno llawer mwy o bwyntiau gwefru a sicrhau bod y rheini'n gweithio, i gasglu data ar eu defnydd nhw, ac yn y blaen, ac i gyflwyno mwy o incentives mewn gwahanol sectorau - tacsis, er enghraifft - i feddwl sut mae plethu defnydd o geir trydan efo trafnidiaeth gyhoeddus neu deithio llesol yn ein dinasoedd ni.
