English: Thank you, Minister. Obviously, making commitments of this nature, they're symbolic, and so many of these principles that underpin the commitments are fundamentally important, so I won't make any apology for calling on you to make another commitment in my final question, in fact, which is about the declaration of the nature emergency that we as a Senedd made in June, which we were all so pleased to have seen as another milestone. That was a vital element of this motion that was carried, which called on the Welsh Government to introduce legally binding requirements to reverse biodiversity loss through statutory targets. I know again that I'm asking you about targets and so on, but these things - as I'm sure you'll agree - are hugely important in driving how these policies are put into place. A Bill on environmental governance and principles would offer the ideal vehicle to do this, but, Minister, in your recent correspondence with the climate change committee when you were referring to the legislative consent memorandum on the UK Environment Bill, you declined to commit to taking this vital opportunity. You said that we have to wait for the conclusion of COP15 in May 2022 before taking that decision. Now I understand, of course, why in many ways you would wish to see the outcome of that, but waiting might not be a luxury that we can afford. Wales is among the most nature-depleted countries in the world. Surely we could lead the way by setting high ambitions ahead of COP15, forge ahead with vital primary legislation to set headlines, so that we can, yes, halt and start to reverse biodiversity loss in Wales by 2030, and achieve recovery by 2050. So, Minister, the final commitment that I will call on you to make is: will you commit to using the environmental principles and governance Bill to introduce a legally binding requirement to reverse biodiversity loss through statutory targets?
Welsh: Diolch, Weinidog. Yn amlwg, mae gwneud ymrwymiadau o'r natur hon, maent yn symbolaidd, felly mae cymaint o'r egwyddorion hyn sy'n sail i'r ymrwymiadau'n hanfodol bwysig, felly nid wyf am ymddiheuro am alw arnoch i wneud ymrwymiad arall yn fy nghwestiwn olaf, sy'n ymwneud, mewn gwirionedd, â'r datganiad o argyfwng natur a wnaethom fel Senedd ym mis Mehefin, rhywbeth yr oedd pob un ohonom mor falch ohono fel carreg filltir arall. Roedd hynny'n elfen hanfodol o'r cynnig hwn a basiwyd, a alwai ar Lywodraeth Cymru i gyflwyno gofynion sy'n rhwymo mewn cyfraith i wrthdroi colli bioamrywiaeth drwy dargedau statudol. Gwn eto fy mod yn gofyn i chi am dargedau ac ati, ond mae'r pethau hyn - fel y byddwch yn cytuno rwy'n siŵr - yn hynod bwysig wrth lywio'r ffordd y caiff y polisïau hyn eu rhoi ar waith. Byddai Bil ar egwyddorion a threfniadau llywodraethu amgylcheddol yn cynnig cyfrwng delfrydol i wneud hyn, ond Weinidog, yn eich gohebiaeth ddiweddar â'r pwyllgor newid hinsawdd pan oeddech yn cyfeirio at y cynnig cydsyniad deddfwriaethol ar Fil Amgylchedd y DU, fe wnaethoch wrthod ymrwymo i achub ar y cyfle hanfodol hwn. Fe ddywedoch chi fod yn rhaid aros tan ar ôl y COP15 ym mis Mai 2022 cyn gwneud y penderfyniad hwnnw. Nawr, rwy'n deall, wrth gwrs, pam y byddech chi mewn sawl ffordd yn dymuno gweld canlyniad hynny, ond efallai nad yw aros yn rhywbeth y gallwn fforddio ei wneud. Mae Cymru ymhlith y gwledydd lle mae natur wedi teneuo fwyaf yn y byd. Does bosibl na allem arwain drwy osod nodau uchelgeisiol cyn COP15, a bwrw ymlaen â deddfwriaeth sylfaenol hanfodol i greu penawdau, fel y gallwn, ie, atal a dechrau gwrthdroi colli bioamrywiaeth yng Nghymru erbyn 2030, a sicrhau adferiad erbyn 2050. Felly, Weinidog, yr ymrwymiad olaf rwyf am alw arnoch i'w wneud yw: a wnewch chi ymrwymo i ddefnyddio'r Bil egwyddorion a threfniadau llywodraethu amgylcheddol i gyflwyno gofyniad sy'n rhwymo mewn cyfraith i wrthdroi colli bioamrywiaeth drwy dargedau statudol?
