English: Thank you, Dirprwy Lywydd. Thank you for the statement also, Minister. I wanted to ask you about eco-anxiety or anxiety related to the climate change emergency, which is affecting an increasing number of young people. As you'll be aware, this is an issue that I've been trying to persuade the Government to act upon since the beginning of this Senedd. Academics at the University of Bath have undertaken an inquiry into this issue, which found that 60 per cent of young people are either very concerned or extremely concerned about climate change. And the academics have also emphasised that eco-anxiety is an entirely rational and understandable fear. So, this isn't about convincing the young people otherwise here, but supporting them in a way. So, may I ask you what changes in the curriculum you would be willing to consider making to deal with this phenomenon of climate change anxiety, and also the evidence on which this anxiety is based? I think that we need to legitimise this concern; we need to demonstrate that we're all listening to young people when they tell us how they feel, that we're also asking them for their ideas, and that we're making them feel less isolated in facing the whole situation. Of course, we need to focus on the framing, about how young people learn about climate change. It's not just about the disasters, but about the agency that we all have; I repeat, it's about having that agency. I would also like to see more support given to teachers and perhaps more training on how to cope with this anxiety that is being experienced by an increasing number of children. This is an issue, Minister, on which I think we could make a major difference to children's lives by listening to what they're telling us. I would really like to see movement on this by the Government, and I'd be more than happy, and enthusiastic, to work with the Government on this, and I am genuinely eager to hear your view on what can be done in schools to respond to this eco-anxiety. And finally, Minister, bearing in mind that climate change is but one huge challenge amongst a number of challenges facing the next generation, how does the Government intend to help children to recover from the stress caused by the pandemic? I know this was mentioned by Laura Jones earlier. Children have lost out on time spent with friends, they've seen parents and relatives suffering, and some have lost members of the family. As with climate change, we can see the impact that the pandemic is having on whole communities, and these young people need to be able to process how they feel in order to learn about sharing experiences and be able to come through such a difficult situation. So, how is the Government going to ensure that support is available in schools to help with this, please?
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd. Diolch am y datganiad hefyd, Weinidog. Roeddwn i eisiau gofyn i chi am eco-bryder neu bryder yn ymwneud â'r argyfwng newid hinsawdd, sy'n effeithio ar niferoedd cynyddol o bobl ifanc. Fel byddwch chi'n ei wybod, mae hwn yn fater dwi wedi bod yn ceisio perswadio'r Llywodraeth i weithredu arno ers dechrau'r Senedd yma. Mae academyddion ym Mhrifysgol Caerfaddon wedi cynnal ymchwiliad mewn i'r maes, ac mae hwnna wedi ffeindio bod 60 y cant o bobl ifanc naill ai yn pryderu yn fawr neu yn pryderu yn enbyd am newid hinsawdd. Ac mae'r academyddion wedi pwysleisio bod eco-bryder yn ofn sydd yn gwbl resymegol a dealladwy. Felly, nid darbwyllo'r bobl ifanc sydd angen digwydd yma, ond eu cefnogi mewn ffordd. Allaf i ofyn ichi, plis, pa newidiadau yn y cwricwlwm y byddech chi'n fodlon ystyried eu cyflwyno er mwyn delio â'r ffenomenon yma o bryder newid hinsawdd, a hefyd i ddelio â'r tystiolaeth sydd wrth wraidd y pryder? Dwi'n meddwl bod angen cyfiawnhau y pryder hwn; mae angen dangos ein bod ni oll yn gwrando ar bobl ifanc am sut maen nhw'n teimlo, yn gwrando arnyn nhw hefyd ynglŷn â beth yw eu syniadau nhw, a gwneud iddyn nhw deimlo'n llai ynysig yn yr holl sefyllfa. Wrth gwrs, mae angen ffocysu ar y fframio, ar sut mae'r bobl ifanc yn dysgu am newid hinsawdd - nid dim ond am y trychinebau, ond hefyd y gweithrediad sydd gennym ni oll, neu'r agency sydd gyda ni. Buaswn i yn hoffi gweld mwy o gymorth hefyd ar gyfer athrawon, ac efallai mwy o hyfforddiant ar sut i ymdopi â'r pryder hwn sydd yn cael ei brofi gan fwy a mwy o blant. Mae hwn yn faes, Weinidog, lle dwi wir yn meddwl y byddem ni'n gallu gwneud gwahaniaeth mawr i fywydau nifer fawr iawn o blant trwy wrando ar yr hyn maen nhw yn ei ddweud wrthym ni. Buaswn i wir yn hoffi gweld symudiad gan y Llywodraeth ar hyn. Buaswn i'n hapus iawn, a brwdfrydig, yn wir, i weithio gyda'r Llywodraeth yn y maes, a buaswn i wir yn awyddus i glywed eich barn chi ar beth gall gael ei wneud tu mewn i ysgolion i ddelio â'r eco-bryder yma. Ac yn olaf, Weinidog, yn ystyried bod newid hinsawdd yn un - wel, mae hi'n un sialens enfawr, nag yw hi, o fewn nifer o sialensau sydd yn wynebu'r genhedlaeth nesaf, sut ydy'r Llywodraeth yn bwriadu helpu plant i ddod dros straen y pandemig? Dwi'n gwybod i hyn gael ei grybwyll gan Laura Jones ychydig funudau yn ôl. Mae plant wedi colli amser gyda ffrindiau, maen nhw wedi gweld rhieni a pherthnasau yn dioddef, rhai wedi colli teulu. Fel gyda newid hinsawdd, dŷn ni'n gallu gweld yr effaith mae'r pandemig yn ei gael ar gymunedau cyfan, ac mae angen i'r bobl ifanc hyn allu prosesu sut maen nhw'n teimlo, i ddysgu am rannu profiadau a gallu dod trwy'r sefyllfa sydd yn sefyllfa mor anodd. So, sut ydy'r Llywodraeth yn mynd ati i wneud yn siŵr bod cymorth ar gael tu mewn i ysgolion i helpu gyda hyn, plis?
