Explanation:

CINBAX (Container Shipping Decarbonization and Emissions Reduction Initiative) is a global initiative designed to reduce carbon emissions and enhance sustainability within the container shipping industry. It aligns with international efforts to combat climate change but is not directly tied to the UN Climate Change Conference (COP). Instead, it operates as a cooperative framework among shipping companies and stakeholders.

Statement 1 is correct: CINBAX focuses on reducing the environmental impact of container shipping by optimizing operational and technological solutions for better fuel efficiency and lower emissions.

Statement 2 is incorrect: CINBAX is not developed under the UN Climate Change Conference (COP). It is an industry-driven initiative, not a formal agreement under COP.

Statement 3 is correct: CINBAX emphasizes the use of advanced technologies to optimize container shipping operations, contributing to emissions reduction and sustainability.

Statement 4 is partially correct: CINBAX has strong international support but has not been endorsed by "over 100 countries." The framework is mostly supported by the shipping industry and environmental groups.
