Fel rhan o Ddiwrnod Gweithredu Byd-eang, fe wnaethon ni fynychu digwyddiad Sgyrsiau Cyfiawnder Hinsawdd yn Abertawe.

Roedd yn wych clywed gan bobl ymylol sydd wedi'u gadael allan o wneud penderfyniadau hinsawdd sydd y cyntaf i deimlo ei effaith.

🙏Diolch pawb

As part of the Global Day of Action, we're so glad we went to the Climate Justice Conversations event.

It was inspiring to hear from marginalised people who are left out of climate decision-making but who are the first to feel its impact.

🙏Diolch pawb!

Mae hyn yn newyddion pryderus.

Mae ynni niwclear yn ddrud ac nid oes storfa ddiogel ar gyfer y gwastraff. Ac mae SMRs yn dechnoleg heb ei phrofi.

Mae angen swyddi ond rhaid iddynt ddod o fuddsoddiad mewn ynni adnewyddadwy.

This decision to build a small nuclear power station at Wylfa is deeply concerning.

SMRs are unproven technology. Nuclear is expensive and there is no safe storage for the waste.

Jobs are vitally needed but they must come from investment in renewables.

Three small modular reactors are confirmed for the site, with the potential for up to eight.

Diolch to everyone who came to our roundtable "Ensuring a healthy environment" and to Delyth Jewell MS for sponsoring it.

It was inspiring to hear from impacted communities and to share insights into how to make the Environment Bill strong enough to protect people and nature.

Residents must be relieved to hear Natural Resources Wales are objecting to the light touch remediation plan for Ffos Y Fran.

The company must be made to restore the site fully, as promised, for the safety and benefit of the local community.

Our investigation identified over 45000 potentially contaminated land sites in Wales but almost none are being inspected.

Councils need to have the funding and resources to identify, assess, and remediate contaminated sites.

Plastic netting in grass turf can be fatal to small animals such as hedgehogs and birds.

And it’s a source of #microplastics.

We've sent an open letter to @WGClimateChange, signed by 8 organisations, calling for it to be banned in #Wales.

Hopefully Welsh Government will agree with us that a new nationwide network of toy libraries would be a good idea.
