Y pwnc

Rhagwelir bydd pedwar o bob pump person yn byw mewn ardaloedd trefol erbyn 2080, ac mae ‘One Planet’ Cities yn cynnig llwybr i gynaladwyedd gwirioneddol ar gyfer cenhedloedd, dinasoedd a chymdogaethau, gyda fframwaith pum cam.

Gan ddefnyddio cyfweliadau gyda rhanddeiliaid allweddol, gan gynnwys y Rhwydwaith Ôl Troed Byd-eang, World Future Council, WWF, meiri a swyddogion, ac astudiaethau achos ar draws y blaned, gan gynnwys Ewrop, Gogledd a De America, Awstralia, Sweden, De Affrica, Tsieina ac India, mae David Thorpe yn archwilio pob agwedd ar gymdeithas fodern o ddarpariaeth bwyd i ddylunio cymdogaethau, drwy ddiwydiant, yr economi gylchol, ynni a chludiant trwy lens feirniadol yr ôl troed ecolegol a'r safonau a dangosyddion rhyngwladol atodol perthnasol.

Mae'r argymhellion yn cynnwys rheoli cadwyni cyflenwi ac effeithiau, penderfyniadau cynllunio, sut gellid ariannu symud at fyd o fewn terfynau, ac archwiliad dwfn o ymdrechion blaengar Llywodraeth Cymru. Mae'n gorffen gyda gweledigaeth o'r hyn y gallai dyfodol gwir gynaliadwy fod, ac yn apelio ar 'un blanedwyr' ymhob man i wynebu'r her.

Bydd y llyfr hwn o ddiddordeb mawr i weision sifil, llunwyr penderfyniadau a pholisïau ym maes llywodraethu, gweinyddwyr, aelodau bwrdd cwmnïau, myfyrwyr ac ymgyrchwyr.
