Statement I: Article 6 of the Paris Agreement is indeed frequently discussed in global sustainability and climate discussions as it provides mechanisms for international cooperation.

Statement II: Correct and explains Statement I. Article 6 establishes the framework for international carbon markets, allowing countries to trade carbon credits and use market mechanisms to achieve their climate targets more cost-effectively.

Statement III: Correct and explains Statement I. Article 6 also promotes non-market approaches for international cooperation, such as technology transfer, capacity building, and climate finance, providing alternatives to market-based mechanisms for countries to collaborate on climate action.

Both market and non-market approaches under Article 6 make it a central topic in international climate discussions.
