English: Thank you, Deputy Presiding Officer, and thank you very much for the statement. As we know, and as you've mentioned, it's wonderful to construct new buildings that make effective and efficient use of energy, but we do also need to retrofit our current stock of buildings in order to reduce emissions in a meaningful way, as part of efforts to tackle climate change. And I can't emphasise this point enough this afternoon: a report by the Construction Industry Training Board notes that 40 per cent of the total emissions could come from construction work and the built environment, and, of course, that includes schools, colleges, many buildings that are owned by the education sector. And the board says that most of the effort in decarbonisation needs to focus on retrofitting energy efficiency on existing buildings rather than on new builds. So, I'd like to know where you strike that balance. One is aware that there are great benefits from having new buildings, but on the other hand, if we accept the evidence of the Construction Industry Training Board, then should there be as much emphasis on that aspect, or is this aspect of decarbonising the existing estate the priority for us now? And you mentioned that you are mapping the work that needs to be done in that regard, and will be drawing up a decarbonisation plan for that, but there is urgency here. So, what's the timetable for that and what will the milestones be on that journey? How will you prioritise those necessary projects? And another issue that needs urgent attention is workforce skills, of course. And there appear to be numerous reports now mentioning the number of additional new workers that we need in Wales, just to meet current demand in terms of retrofitting and so on. And I again refer to the Construction Industry Training Board, and in a report published in March of this year, they state that an additional 12,000 roles in construction in Wales will be required by 2028, which isn't so far away, in order to provide for net zero, focusing on domestic retrofitting, and that's an increase of 12 per cent in the workforce. So, I would like to know what your priorities are in this area. How will you as education Minister work towards increasing this workforce? We heard the Minister for Economy mentioning the need to work with regional skills partnerships, but we need more than that, I would've thought. So, it would be good to hear what plans you have in place, particularly in order to enhance the workforce, which, in turn, will assist us in decarbonising not just in the education sector, but across the public sector estate? And finally, I also want to know more about this sustainable schools challenge fund. You mentioned that its purpose is to inspire many innovative and sustainable primary schools that are part of their natural environment. Now, you're limiting this to the primary sector alone, I believe. Could you explain why that's the case and why you're not going to include secondary schools and colleges and so on? You also state that schools taking advantage of this fund will include learners in implementing sustainable and environmentally-friendly systems as part of their learning, which is valuable, of course, and I welcome that, but, just for clarity here, are we talking about a fund for building adaptations? Are we talking about a fund for creating plans for new schools along with learners, or are we talking about something more than that? Are we looking at having innovative plans and ideas in terms of issues such as local food supply chains as part of the food offer in schools? Are we talking about sustainable travel to school and those kinds of issues? Because I'm sure that our young people do have very many innovative ideas and we do need to listen to them, and, hopefully, this fund will allow for some of that too. Thank you.
Welsh: Diolch, Dirprwy Lywydd, a diolch yn fawr iawn am y datganiad. Fel rydyn ni'n gwybod, ac fel rydych chi wedi sôn eisoes, mae hi'n wych gallu codi adeiladau newydd sy'n defnyddio ynni'n effeithlon, ond mae angen inni fod yn ôl-ffitio ein stoc bresennol ni o adeiladau er mwyn lleihau allyriadau mewn ffordd ystyrlon, fel rhan o'r ymdrech i fynd i'r afael â newid yn yr hinsawdd. A fedraf i ddim pwysleisio'r pwynt yma ddigon heddiw yma: mae adroddiad gan Fwrdd Hyfforddi'r Diwydiant Adeiladu, er enghraifft, yn nodi y gallai 40 y cant o gyfanswm yr allyriadau ddod o waith adeiladu a'r amgylchedd adeiledig, ac, wrth gwrs, mae hynny'n cynnwys ysgolion, colegau, nifer fawr o adeiladau sydd yn perthyn i'r sector addysg. Ac mae'r bwrdd yn dweud bod rhaid i'r rhan fwyaf o'r ymdrech i ddatgarboneiddio ganolbwyntio ar ôl-ffitio effeithlonrwydd ynni ar adeiladau sy'n bodoli eisoes yn hytrach nag ar yr adeiladu o'r newydd. Felly, buaswn i'n licio gwybod lle ydych chi'n gosod y balans yna. Mae rhywun yn gwybod bod yna fendithion mawr i gael o adeiladau newydd, ond ar y llaw arall, os ydyn ni'n derbyn tystiolaeth Bwrdd Hyfforddi'r Diwydiant Adeiladu, a ddylid rhoi cymaint o bwyslais ar yr agwedd yna, ynteu ydy'r agwedd yma o ddatgarboneiddio'r ystâd bresennol angen bod ar flaen ein meddyliau ni yn ogystal? Ac rydych chi'n sôn eich bod chi yn mapio'r gwaith sydd angen ei wneud o safbwynt hynny, ac yn mynd i fod yn creu cynllun datgarboneiddio'r stoc bresennol, ond mae yna frys, onid oes? Felly, beth ydy'r amserlen ar gyfer hynny, a beth fydd y cerrig milltir ar y daith yna? Sut fyddwch chi'n mynd ati i flaenoriaethu'r prosiectau angenrheidiol yna? A mater arall sydd angen sylw brys ydy sgiliau'r gweithlu, wrth gwrs. Ac mae'n debyg bod yna adroddiadau di-rif erbyn hyn sydd yn sôn am y nifer o weithwyr newydd ychwanegol rydyn eu hangen yng Nghymru dim ond i ateb y galw presennol o safbwynt 'retrofit-io' ac yn y blaen. A dwi'n cyfeirio eto at y Bwrdd Hyfforddi'r Diwydiant Adeiladu, ac maen nhw, mewn adroddiad cafodd ei gyhoeddi ym mis Mawrth eleni, yn dangos y bydd angen 12,000 o rolau ychwanegol ym maes adeiladu Cymru erbyn 2028, sydd ddim yn bell i ffwrdd, i ddarparu net sero, gan ganolbwyntio ar ôl-ffitio domestig, ac mae hynny yn gynnydd o 12 y cant yn y gweithlu. Ac felly, hoffwn i wybod beth ydy eich blaenoriaethau chi yn y maes yma. Sut ydych chi fel Gweinidog addysg yn bwriadu gweithio tuag at gynyddu'r gweithlu yma? Clywsom ni Weinidog yr Economi'n sôn am yr angen i weithio hefo'r partneriaethau sgiliau rhanbarthol, ond mae angen mwy na hynny, mae'n debyg, onid oes? Felly, buasai'n dda clywed pa gynlluniau sydd gennych chi yn arbennig ar gyfer cynyddu'r gweithlu, a fydd, yn eu tro, yn ein helpu ni i ddatgarboneiddio nid yn unig yn y sector addysg, ond ar draws ein hystad sector cyhoeddus ni? Ac yn olaf, dwi hefyd eisiau gwybod mwy am y gronfa her ysgolion cynaliadwy. Rydych chi'n dweud mai ei phwrpas hi ydy sbarduno nifer o ysgolion cynradd arloesol a chynaliadwy sydd yn rhan o'u hamgylchedd naturiol. Rydych chi'n cyfyngu'r gronfa yma i'r cynradd yn unig, dwi'n credu. A gawn ni ddeall pam, felly, nad ydych chi am gynnwys yr ysgolion uwchradd a'r colegau ac yn y blaen? Rydych chi'n dweud hefyd y bydd yr ysgolion sy'n manteisio ar y gronfa yn cynnwys dysgwyr wrth ddatblygu neu weithredu systemau cynaliadwy ac amgylcheddol fel rhan o'u dysgu, sydd yn werth chweil, wrth gwrs, ac rydyn ni'n croesawu hynny, ond ydych chi'n sôn yn fan hyn, jest i gael eglurder, am gronfa ar gyfer addasu adeiladu? Ydyn ni'n sôn am gronfa ar gyfer creu cynlluniau ar gyfer ysgolion newydd ar y cyd â dysgwyr, neu ydyn ni'n sôn am rywbeth mwy na hynny? Ydyn ni'n sôn am gael cynlluniau a syniadau arloesol o ran materion fel cadwyni bwyd lleol fel rhan o'r pecyn bwyd sydd ar gael mewn ysgolion? Ydyn ni'n sôn am deithio cynaliadwy i'r ysgol a'r math yna o beth? Achos dwi'n siŵr bod gan ein pobl ifanc ni lawer iawn o syniadau arloesol ac mae angen gwrando arnyn nhw, a gobeithio bydd y gronfa yn gallu sbarduno rhywfaint o hynny hefyd. Diolch yn fawr.
