Financing an Environment for Wales

The purpose of Financing an Environment for Wales was to set a collective approach to financing the environment that the country needed. It shared insight on actions that were already being taken, such as the cultivation of nature markets. Together, we set out the ‘big picture’ of how money from all sources could achieve more for Wales.

Ariannu Amgylchedd i Gymru

Pwrpas Ariannu Amgylchedd i Gymru oedd sefydlu dull ar y cyd o ariannu’r amgylchedd oedd ei angen ar y wlad a rhannu gwybodaeth am y camau yr oeddent eisoes yn cael eu cymryd, megis datblygu marchnadoedd natur. Gyda’n gilydd, gwelsom y ‘darlun cyfan’ o sut y gallai arian o bob ffynhonnell gyflawni mwy i Gymru.

Why did this event take place?

In Wales and beyond, there was growing interest in the innovative use of money to secure the natural environment upon which everyone depended. This involved finding ways for private, public and philanthropic funding to work together. It included payments for outcomes, such as the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere into soil, saltmarsh, seaweed and plants. It also encompassed investment in climate resilience, and actions that could support thriving rural economies as well as marine and coastal areas.

Pam y cynhaliwyd y digwyddiad hwn?

Yng Nghymru a thu hwnt, roedd diddordeb cynyddol mewn defnyddio arian mewn ffordd arloesol i ddiogelu’r amgylchedd naturiol yr oedd pob un ohonom yn dibynnu arno. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys dod o hyd i ffyrdd y gallai arian preifat, cyhoeddus a rhoddion weithio gyda’i gilydd. Roedd hefyd yn cynnwys taliadau am ganlyniadau, megis tynnu carbon deuocsid o’r atmosffer i bridd, morfa heli, gwymon a phlanhigion. Roedd hyn yn cynnwys, yn ogystal, fuddsoddi mewn gwytnwch yn erbyn newid hinsawdd, a chamau gweithredu a allai sicrhau economïau gwledig ffyniannus yn ogystal ag ardaloedd morol ac arfordirol.

Opportunity for everyone?

There is a role for everyone in this innovation – from local communities to the largest businesses, charities and public bodies. Wales now has opportunity to make this arena work for its people, its priorities, its environment and its well-being economy.

Cyfle i bawb?

Mae rôl i bawb yn y maes arloesol hwn – o gymunedau lleol i’r busnesau mwyaf, elusennau a chyrff cyhoeddus. Mae gan Gymru gyfle nawr i wneud i’r maes hwn fod o fudd i’w phobl, ei blaenoriaethau, ei hamgylchedd a’i heconomi llesiant.

Expected outcomes from the Summit

A group of leaders in 100 key organisations in Wales willing and able to work together to attract funding and finance that will deliver a better environment for all of Wales. This is a place for participants to generate ideas for action, and to find partners with whom they can work.  We expect new projects, enterprises to arise through the event, building on work already started.

Canlyniadau disgwyliedig o’r Uwchgynhadledd

Grŵp o arweinwyr mewn 100 o sefydliadau allweddol yng Nghymru sy’n fodlon ac yn gallu gweithio gyda’i gilydd i ddenu cyllid a fydd yn sicrhau amgylchedd gwell i Gymru gyfan. Mae hwn yn lle i gyfranogwyr gynnig syniadau ar gyfer gweithredu, ac i ddod o hyd i bartneriaid y gallant weithio gyda nhw.  Rydym yn disgwyl i brosiectau a mentrau newydd ddeillio o’r digwyddiad, gan adeiladu ar waith sydd eisoes wedi’i ddechrau.
