English: I'm very glad to have the opportunity to speak in this debate, this year being the thirtieth anniversary of the nuclear disaster at Chernobyl, the legacy of which continues to remain with us, and we perhaps have in mind all the other potential Chernobyls that exist in nuclear power stations that are centred around conflict zones in various parts of the world. My concern is not so much in terms of understanding, knowing, and being aware of all the things that are happening to this planet, but how we actually achieve real change. This year, I'll be 65. Next year, I qualify for my state pension. In 20 years, I probably won't be here. My generation is the generation that has destroyed this planet, is continuing to destroy this planet, and our legacy to the younger generation is to actually solve the mistakes that our generation has actually made. So, when we saw on the streets schoolchildren, young people, occupying the streets, occupying schools, demonstrating, protesting, I give my full support to that and I do not accept the criticisms of those people because what they are doing is expressing now the ownership of that legacy that we are leaving them: a legacy that has pushed the planet to virtually a tipping point. I was very interested in the climate school strikers' four demands. 'The Government declares a climate emergency': well, we're moving towards that, and hopefully at Westminster that will happen shortly. 'That the national curriculum addresses the ecology crisis as a priority': it is beginning to do this, but as we talk about our curriculum now, I think that point is very, very pertinent in terms of an understanding of the link between the society we have and the environmental legacy. I'm very interested in a quote by Naomi Klein, which basically said that, 'Our economic system and our planetary system are now at war. Or, more accurately, our economy is at war with many forms of life on Earth, including human life.' And what needs to change is not the laws of nature but it's the actual laws of the economy that require more and more expansion with very little regard to the environment. Llywydd, the biggest criticism that many of the young people made that we've heard on social media and we've seen on the television is that politicians are good at words but we're not very good at action. Well, I think our young people have actually shown that they are prepared to take action, that they will take action, and I fully support them taking action in that sort of campaign because if we can't deliver, then the only people who can actually protect the future of our environment and our planet are going to be those young people taking action, fighting and defending for their future. Thank you.
Welsh: Rwy'n falch iawn o gael cyfle i siarad yn y ddadl hon, gan ei bod hi'n ddeng mlynedd ar hugain ers y trychineb niwclear yn Chernobyl, ac mae gwaddol y trychineb yn parhau i fod gyda ni, ac efallai ein bod yn cofio pob Chernobyl arall posibl sy'n bodoli mewn gorsafoedd niwclear a leolwyd o amgylch ardaloedd lle ceir gwrthdaro mewn rhannau amrywiol o'r byd. Nid yn gymaint deall, gwybod a bod yn ymwybodol o'r holl bethau sy'n digwydd i'r blaned hon yw fy mhryder, ond yn hytrach sut y mae cyflawni newid gwirioneddol. Eleni, byddaf yn 65. Y flwyddyn nesaf, rwy'n gymwys i gael pensiwn gwladol. Ymhen 20 mlynedd, mae'n fwy na thebyg na fyddaf yma. Fy nghenhedlaeth i yw'r genhedlaeth sydd wedi dinistrio'r blaned hon, sy'n parhau i ddinistrio'r blaned hon, a'n gwaddol i'r genhedlaeth iau yw datrys y camgymeriadau y mae ein cenhedlaeth ni wedi'u gwneud mewn gwirionedd. Felly, pan welsom blant ysgol ar y strydoedd, pobl ifanc yn meddiannu'r strydoedd, yn meddiannu ysgolion, yn protestio, rwy'n rhoi fy nghefnogaeth lawn i hynny ac nid wyf yn derbyn beirniadaeth y bobl hynny oherwydd yr hyn a wnânt yw mynegi yn awr eu perchenogaeth ar y gwaddol rydym yn ei adael iddynt: gwaddol sydd wedi gwthio'r blaned at y pwynt tipio bron iawn. Roedd gennyf ddiddordeb mawr mewn pedair o alwadau'r streicwyr ysgol ar yr hinsawdd. 'Y Llywodraeth i ddatgan argyfwng hinsawdd': wel, rydym yn symud tuag at hynny, a gobeithio y bydd hynny'n digwydd yn San Steffan cyn bo hir. 'Y cwricwlwm cenedlaethol i fynd i'r afael â'r argyfwng ecoleg fel blaenoriaeth': mae'n dechrau gwneud hyn, ond wrth i ni siarad am ein cwricwlwm yn awr, rwy'n credu bod y pwynt hwnnw'n berthnasol tu hwnt o ran deall y cysylltiad rhwng y gymdeithas sydd gennym a'r gwaddol amgylcheddol. Rwy'n hoff iawn o ddyfyniad gan Naomi Klein, a ddywedai yn y bôn, ei bod hi bellach yn rhyfel rhwng ein system economaidd a'n system blanedol. Neu, yn fwy cywir, mae ein heconomi'n rhyfela yn erbyn sawl math o fywyd ar y ddaear, gan gynnwys bywyd dynol. Nid deddfau natur yw'r hyn sydd angen newid, ond deddfau'r economi sy'n galw am fwy a mwy o ehangu heb fawr o sylw i'r amgylchedd. Lywydd, y feirniadaeth fwyaf a wnaeth llawer o'r bobl ifanc a glywsom ar y cyfryngau cymdeithasol ac a welsom ar y teledu yw bod gwleidyddion yn dda am ddweud geiriau ond nad ydym yn dda iawn am weithredu. Wel, rwy'n meddwl bod ein pobl ifanc wedi dangos eu bod yn barod i weithredu, ac y byddant yn gweithredu, ac rwy'n eu cefnogi'n llwyr i weithredu mewn ymgyrch o'r fath oherwydd os na allwn gyflawni, yr unig bobl a all ddiogelu dyfodol ein hamgylchedd a'n planed mewn gwirionedd fydd y bobl ifanc sy'n gweithredu, yn ymladd ac yn amddiffyn ar gyfer eu dyfodol. Diolch.
