MAE CYNGHRAIR o bron 30 o sefydliadau yng Nghymru wedi croesawu adroddiad newydd gan Aelodau Cynulliad sy’n argymell newidiadau i un o fesurau pwysig Llywodraeth Cymru, Bil Llesiant Cenedlaethau’r Dyfodol. Mae’r Gynghrair Datblygu Cynaliadwy’n cytuno gyda Phwyllgor Amgylchedd a Chynaliadwyedd y Cynulliad bod angen nifer o ddiwygiadau er mwyn i’r gyfraith wneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol. Mae’r Gynghrair yn cynnwys elusennau amgylcheddol a datblygu, yn ogystal â grwpiau ffydd a chredo, iaith, cymuned a menywod.

Gan ymateb i lansiad adroddiad y Pwyllgor heddiw, dywedodd y llefarydd dros y Gynghrair Datblygu Cynaliadwy, Haf Elgar: “Os byddwn ni’n cael y Bil hwn yn iawn gallai wneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol, cadarnhaol i bobl a’r blaned. Fodd bynnag, fel mae adroddiad heddiw’n dangos, mae angen ei gryfhau er mwyn cyflawni hyn. Rydyn ni’n falch bod yna gefnogaeth drawsbleidiol i egwyddorion y ddeddf hon, ac rydyn ni’n cefnogi’r argymhellion mae’r pwyllgor wedi’u gwneud.

“Dylai’r Bil gynorthwyo cyrff yng Nghymru i ddatblygu mewn modd cynaliadwy – o recriwtio i arlwyo. Dylai eu helpu i wneud penderfyniadau sy’n golygu y collir cyn lleied o natur ag sy’n bosibl, yn helpu i leihau’r newid yn yr hinsawdd, yn cefnogi’r Gymraeg ac yn cefnogi amodau tecach i weithwyr. Er mwyn i’r Bil fod yn effeithiol, mae angen dyletswydd glir ar gyrff cyhoeddus fel bod popeth a wnân nhw’n ein symud tuag at fod yn genedl fwy cynaliadwy.

Mae’n rhaid bod yna ddiffiniad cynhwysfawr o ystyr datblygu cynaliadwy, ac mae’n rhaid i fynd i’r afael â’r newid yn yr hinsawdd fod yn greiddiol i’r Bil. Ac mae’n rhaid i’r Comisiynydd fod yn wirioneddol annibynnol, gyda’r pwerau angenrheidiol i ddadlau achos cenedlaethau’r dyfodol.Rydyn ni’n hyderus y gall Llywodraeth Cymru ac Aelodau Cynulliad greu Bil gwell, gyda’r diwygiadau cywir. Edrychwn ymlaen at weithio gyda nhw i lunio cyfraith gref ac effeithiol a fydd yn helpu pobl a’r blaned, y gall Cymru fod yn falch ohoni.”

Lanterns and balloons released in emotional acts of remembrance

FAMILY, friends and members of the local community came together to remember Corrina Baker at a series of moving events held across west Wales this week.

Corrina’s funeral took place on Monday (Dec 15), a month after her death, with a public service held at St Mary’s Church. Mourners lined the route as her coffin was carried on its final journey in an elegant horse-drawn carriage, before a private cremation later took place at Parc Gwyn crematorium in Narberth.

Later that evening, shortly after 6:00pm, friends and relatives gathered at the Quayside in Cardigan for the first of two acts of remembrance to celebrate her life. Lanterns were lit and released into the night sky above the town as some of Corrina’s favourite songs were played.

On Tuesday afternoon (Dec 16), a second tribute was held near the location where Corrina was found. Twenty-one pink balloons — one for each year of her life — were released into a clear blue sky, each carrying personal messages in her memory.

Floral tributes continue to be laid at the Netpool, while a GoFundMe appeal set up in Corrina’s memory has raised more than £2,300. She has been described by those who knew her as “funny and bright”.

Dyfed-Powys Police have confirmed that their investigation into the circumstances surrounding Ms Baker’s death is ongoing. A 29-year-old man who was arrested on suspicion of murder has been released on bail while inquiries continue.
