Explanation:

The correct statements about the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol are:

Correct: The Kigali Amendment amends the Montreal Protocol to include hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), which are potent greenhouse gases, although not ozone-depleting like the substances originally controlled by the Montreal Protocol.

Incorrect: The Kigali Amendment focuses on phasing down HFCs, not on the elimination of CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons). The original Montreal Protocol was aimed at phasing out CFCs.

Correct: The agreement includes a system for penalties in case of non-compliance, similar to the original Montreal Protocol.

Therefore, statements 1 and 3 are correct.
