English: Obviously, I'd like to actually address my budget concerns regarding the portfolio. If we just take Natural Resources Wales, for instance, Welsh Government have completely ignored many warnings that we've seen in committee reports and inquiries that Natural Resources Wales is underfunded, and yet, they've chosen to maintain its current level of funding. So, it's continued to be allocated £60.1 million in the draft budget, yet in contrast, this body received £69 million in 2021-22. Despite these concerns of underfunding, the Minister for Climate Change has said that the body's funding was 'sufficient for their statutory responsibilities', though she 'would prefer to give them a bigger budget', during scrutiny of the 2022-23 budget. That's on record. So, with the need for environmental oversight more important than ever now, these words will certainly ring hollow for many. In terms of the Welsh Government's environmental targets, clean energy funding is set to decrease by 6 per cent, despite the Welsh Government's own net-zero target. Welsh Government had planned to allocate £10.4 million to clean energy, though the budget now shows this has reduced to £9.8 million. The funding is used towards policy development, financial support for renewable energy, including the local energy grant scheme and the energy planning programme. So, whilst funding also goes towards pursuing devolving the management of the Crown Estate in Wales, I hope that the cut in funding is due now and that this ridiculous policy idea are being scrapped. Members may know that marine planning is an issue that I, along with my colleague Joyce Watson, have constantly raised, issues about marine planning and our legislative proposals for a full marine spatial development plan for Wales. So, we're disappointed that the Welsh Government has reduced the anticipated capital spending on marine energy for 2023-24. The capital funding is set to be cut by 30 per cent, with £10 million originally planned in the indicative budget, though this has now been reduced to £7 million.
Welsh: Yn amlwg, hoffwn fynd i'r afael â fy mhryderon am y gyllideb o ran y portffolio. Os ydym ni ond yn edrych ar Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru, er enghraifft, mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi llwyr anwybyddu llawer o rybuddion rydyn ni wedi'u gweld mewn adroddiadau pwyllgorau ac ymchwiliadau nad yw Cyfoeth Naturiol Cymru wedi ei ariannu'n ddigonol, ac eto, maen nhw wedi dewis cynnal ei lefel bresennol o gyllid. Felly, mae'n parhau i ddyrannu £60.1 miliwn yn y gyllideb ddrafft iddo, ond eto mewn cyferbyniad, derbyniodd y corff hwn £69 miliwn yn 2021-22. Er y pryderon hyn am danariannu, mae'r Gweinidog Newid Hinsawdd wedi dweud bod cyllid y corff yn 'ddigonol ar gyfer eu cyfrifoldebau statudol', er y byddai 'yn well ganddi roi cael cyllideb fwy iddyn nhw', wrth graffu ar gyllideb 2022-23. Mae hynny ar y cofnod. Felly, gyda'r angen am oruchwyliaeth amgylcheddol yn bwysicach nag erioed nawr, bydd y geiriau hyn yn sicr yn eiriau gwag i lawer. O ran targedau amgylcheddol Llywodraeth Cymru, bydd cyllid ynni glân yn gostwng 6 y cant, er gwaethaf targed sero-net Llywodraeth Cymru ei hun. Roedd Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bwriadu dyrannu £10.4 miliwn at ynni glân, er bod y gyllideb bellach yn dangos bod hyn wedi gostwng i £9.8 miliwn. Mae'r arian yn cael ei ddefnyddio tuag at ddatblygu polisi, cefnogaeth ariannol i ynni adnewyddadwy, gan gynnwys y cynllun grant ynni lleol a'r rhaglen cynllunio ynni. Felly, er bod arian hefyd yn mynd tuag at mynd ar drywydd datganoli rheolaeth Ystad y Goron yng Nghymru, rwy'n gobeithio bod y toriad mewn cyllid i'w ddisgwyl nawr a bod y syniad polisi chwerthinllyd hwn yn cael ei ddileu. Efallai fod yr Aelodau'n gwybod bod cynllunio morol yn fater rydw i, ynghyd â fy nghydweithiwr Joyce Watson, wedi'i godi'n gyson, materion ynghylch cynllunio morol a'n cynigion deddfwriaethol ar gyfer cynllun datblygu gofodol morol llawn i Gymru. Felly, rydyn ni'n siomedig fod Llywodraeth Cymru wedi lleihau'r gwariant cyfalaf disgwyliedig ar ynni morol ar gyfer 2023-24. Mae disgwyl i'r cyllid cyfalaf gael ei dorri o 30 y cant, gyda £10 miliwn wedi'i gynllunio'n wreiddiol yn y gyllideb ddangosol, er bod hyn bellach wedi'i leihau i £7 miliwn.
