Arbenigedd sy’n gysylltiedig â NDC y CU
Yn 2015, cytunodd gwladwriaethau sy’n aelodau'r Cenhedloedd Unedig ar 17 o Nodau Datblygu Cynaliadwy (NDC) byd-eang i ddod â thlodi i ben, diogelu’r blaned a sicrhau ffyniant i bawb. Mae gwaith y person hwn yn cyfrannu at y NDC canlynol:
-
Gender equality -
Decent work and economic growth -
Reduced inequalities -
Climate action -
Peace justice and strong institutions
Ôl bys
Ewch i ganol y pynciau ymchwil lle mae Mairead Hourigan ar waith. Mae’r labelau pwnc hyn yn dod o waith y person hwn. Gyda’i gilydd maen nhw’n ffurfio ôl bys unigryw.
