Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)
Okay. Thank you. And I suppose the nature of the challenge means there's always more that could be done, isn't there, really? Okay. Jenny.

Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)
Okay. Thank you. We have about 20 minutes left, and I know that there are a number of areas that we still need to cover. So, I'll come to Janet, and just ask, maybe, be brief and to the point, if we can, obviously without omitting any important points that…

Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)

Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)
Okay. I'm just mindful that we are running out of time a little bit, so do you want to come back on anything else?
16 Mawrth 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)
Andrew, first of all.

Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)

Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)
Yes, okay. That's very true, and it's so multilayered, I suppose; that's a big part of the challenge, isn't it? Joyce.

Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)

Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)
Thank you. An interesting example, actually, of the practical issues that authorities are grappling with. Thank you for that. Huw.
16 Mawrth 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)

Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)
We'll certainly come back to the skills agenda, and no doubt the resourcing as well. Jenny, you wanted to come in, and then we'll move on.
16 Mawrth 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)
Well, we can ask them in a minute, because there are representatives appearing before us. Before I bring Jenny in, Mary Ann, did you want to pick up on anything that was asked there?
16 Mawrth 2023 , Climate Change, Environment, and Infrastructure Committee
Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)
Yes. Thank you both for that. I think, as you say, it's important to have that target to drive action, isn't it, really? Okay, I'll bring Janet in then.

There we are, okay, we'll drill down on some of those issues as we go along. But, given that you've mentioned the 2030 ambition, can I ask whether you actually think it is feasible or should the target or the ambition of net zero by 2030 actually be reviewed?…

Datgarboneiddio’r sector cyhoeddus - sesiwn dystiolaeth gyda Chymdeithas Llywodraeth Leol Cymru (CLlLC)
