English: Diolch, Llywydd, and wishing you a happy new year and the Minister. So, thank you, Minister. It sounds as though you had a fantastic and rewarding time in Montreal, and I'm sure, like other Members of the Senedd, I would be pleased to hear more about the Parks Canada methodology in due course. Now, as you know, COP15 saw the adoption of the global biodiversity framework on the last day of negotiations, and the aims were really to address biodiversity loss, restore ecosystems and protect indigenous rights. The plan includes concrete measures to halt and reverse nature loss, including putting 30 per cent of the planet and 30 per cent of degraded ecosystems under protection by 2030. So, we do know, Minister, that you are committed to the 30x30 target, and that you have today noted that you will develop legally binding nature targets underpinned by a new strategic biodiversity action plan. So, will the legally binding targets include the 30x30, and when will the regulations be tabled for our consideration? Target 7 agreed at COP15 is to reduce pollution risks and the negative impact of pollution from all sources by 2030. Now, last March, our Climate Change, Environment and Infrastructure Committee published a report on storm overflows in Wales. It highlighted such horrendous facts as that, by 2020, there were over 105,000 incidents of untreated sewage being dumped into Welsh water courses, up from 14,485 incidents in 2016. In your response to our report, you agreed that reducing impacts from storm overflows is very important and advised that the Welsh Government is focusing on sustainable nature-based solutions to divert and remove as much surface water as possible away from the sewerage systems to increase network capacity. So, how much progress is being made, Minister, on implementing these nature-based solutions to divert and remove surface water from sewerage systems? Target 16 calls for us to ensure that people are encouraged and enabled to make sustainable consumption choices and, by 2030, reduce the global footprint of consumption in an equitable manner, halving global food waste, significantly reduce overconsumption, and substantially reduce waste generation in order for all people to live well in harmony with Mother Earth. Now, clearly, by backing my colleague Peter Fox and his Food (Wales) Bill, we could help to achieve that target. And it was just disappointing recently to see at first hand how that was, despite all the hard work from officials within the Commission and, indeed, Peter Fox himself, not supported in any form. So, we do need to see action by you, following unanimous support for the motion in November, which saw the Welsh Parliament vote to see the Welsh Government take several steps, including developing a more self-sufficient food system for Wales by creating a road map towards a food system that's fit for the future and provides communities with a sustainable source of food, but also using procurement levers to create a requirement for supply chains to be free from deforestation, conversion and social exploitation as part of the transition to utilising locally produced and sustainable goods. Now, the question I have for you, Minister, is: what progress have you made on moving forward with actions to address the impacts of Wales's own domestic consumption on the world? Finally, it is fair to acknowledge that you do try to be ahead of the game, through publishing the biodiversity deep-dive in October. I am particularly interested in, and supportive of, your plans for the marine environment, including establishing a targeted scheme to support restoration of seagrass and saltmarsh habitats along our coastline, and also the implementation of a spatial approach to marine planning. So, whilst I would appreciate an update on work to protect 30 per cent of our seas, I would be interested to learn whether you heard of any other marine initiatives whilst you were present at COP15 that we may be able to implement here and benefit from. Thank you and diolch.
Welsh: Diolch, Llywydd, ac rwy'n dymuno blwyddyn newydd dda i chi a'r Gweinidog. Felly, diolch, Gweinidog. Mae'n swnio fel petaech chi wedi cael amser gwych a gwerth chweil ym Montreal, ac rwy'n siŵr, fel Aelodau eraill y Senedd, y byddwn i'n falch o glywed mwy am fethodoleg Parks Canada maes o law. Nawr, fel y gwyddoch chi, gwelodd COP15 fabwysiadu'r fframwaith bioamrywiaeth byd-eang ar ddiwrnod olaf y trafodaethau, a'r nodau mewn gwirionedd oedd mynd i'r afael â cholli bioamrywiaeth, adfer ecosystemau a diogelu hawliau brodorol. Mae'r cynllun yn cynnwys mesurau pendant i atal a gwrthdroi colli natur, gan gynnwys rhoi 30 y cant o'r blaned a 30 y cant o ecosystemau diraddiedig dan warchodaeth erbyn 2030. Felly, rydym ni yn gwybod, Gweinidog, eich bod chi wedi ymrwymo i'r targed 30x30, ac eich bod chi heddiw wedi nodi y byddwch chi'n datblygu targedau natur sy'n gyfreithiol rwymol wedi'u hategu gan gynllun gweithredu bioamrywiaeth strategol newydd. Felly, a fydd y targedau sy'n gyfreithiol rwymol yn cynnwys y 30x30, a phryd fydd y rheoliadau'n cael eu cyflwyno i ni eu hystyried? Targed 7 y cytunwyd arni yn COP15 yw lleihau'r risgiau o lygredd ac effaith negyddol llygredd o bob ffynhonnell erbyn 2030. Nawr, fis Mawrth diwethaf, cyhoeddodd ein Pwyllgor Newid Hinsawdd, Amgylchedd a Seilwaith adroddiad ar orlifoedd storm yng Nghymru. Tynnodd sylw at ffeithiau mor erchyll ag y byddai, erbyn 2020, dros 105,000 o achosion o garthion heb eu trin yn cael eu gollwng i gyrsiau dŵr yng Nghymru, i fyny o 14,485 o achosion yn 2016. Yn eich ymateb i'n hadroddiad, fe wnaethoch chi gytuno bod lleihau effeithiau gorlifoedd storm yn bwysig iawn a chynghori bod Llywodraeth Cymru'n canolbwyntio ar atebion cynaliadwy ar sail natur er mwyn dargyfeirio a chael gwared â chymaint o ddŵr wyneb â phosibl o'r systemau carthffosiaeth i gynyddu capasiti'r rhwydwaith. Felly, faint o gynnydd sy'n cael ei wneud, Gweinidog, ar weithredu'r atebion hyn sy'n seiliedig ar natur er mwyn dargyfeirio a thynnu dŵr wyneb o systemau carthffosiaeth? Mae targed 16 yn galw arnom ni i sicrhau bod pobl yn cael eu hannog a'u galluogi i wneud dewisiadau defnydd cynaliadwy ac, erbyn 2030, lleihau ôl troed byd-eang y defnydd mewn modd teg, gan haneru gwastraff bwyd byd-eang, lleihau gorddefnydd yn sylweddol, a lleihau cynhyrchu gwastraff yn sylweddol er mwyn i bawb fyw'n dda mewn harmoni â'r Ddaear. Nawr, yn amlwg, drwy gefnogi fy nghydweithiwr Peter Fox a'i Fil Bwyd (Cymru), gallem ni helpu i gyrraedd y targed hwnnw. A siomedig yn ddiweddar oedd gweld yn gyntaf sut na chafodd hwn, er gwaethaf yr holl waith caled gan swyddogion o fewn y Comisiwn ac, yn wir, Peter Fox ei hun, ei gefnogi ar unrhyw ffurf. Felly, mae'n rhaid i ni weld gweithredu gennych chi, yn dilyn cefnogaeth unfrydol i'r cynnig ym mis Tachwedd, lle gwelwyd Senedd Cymru yn pleidleisio i weld Llywodraeth Cymru'n cymryd sawl cam, gan gynnwys datblygu system fwyd fwy hunangynhaliol i Gymru drwy greu map ffordd tuag at system fwyd sy'n addas ar gyfer y dyfodol ac sy'n rhoi ffynhonnell gynaliadwy o fwyd i gymunedau, ond hefyd defnyddio ysgogiadau caffael i greu gofyniad i gadwyni cyflenwi fod yn rhydd o ddatgoedwigo, trosi ac ecsbloetio cymdeithasol fel rhan o'r newid i ddefnyddio nwyddau sydd wedi'u cynhyrchu'n lleol ac sy'n gynaliadwy. Nawr, y cwestiwn sydd gen i i chi, Gweinidog, yw: pa gynnydd rydych chi wedi'i wneud ar symud ymlaen gyda chamau i fynd i'r afael ag effeithiau defnydd domestig Cymru ei hun ar y byd? Yn olaf, mae'n deg cydnabod eich bod chi'n ceisio bod ar flaen y gad, trwy gyhoeddi'r ymchwil manwl i fioamrywiaeth ym mis Hydref. Mae gen i ddiddordeb arbennig yn eich cynlluniau ar gyfer yr amgylchedd morol, ac rwy'n eu cefnogi, gan gynnwys sefydlu cynllun wedi'i dargedu i gefnogi adfer cynefinoedd morwellt a morfeydd heli ar hyd ein harfordir, a hefyd gweithredu dull gofodol o gynllunio morol. Felly, er y byddwn i'n gwerthfawrogi'r wybodaeth ddiweddaraf am waith i ddiogelu 30 y cant o'n moroedd, byddai gen i ddiddordeb dysgu p'un a wnaethoch chi glywed am unrhyw fentrau morol eraill tra roeddech chi'n bresennol yn COP15 y gallwn ni eu rhoi ar waith yma ac elwa ohonynt. Diolch.
