    China, Vietnam, Cuba and DPRK all have COVID under control so? What it takes to handle a highly infectious pandemic is a government capable and willing to enforce a quarantine by force along with providing the necessary resources and precautions to make it happen like making sure people don't starve by establishing delivery services or get evicted because they are earning less.

    Climate change is going to be about mitigation. Countries will have to invest in very large, expensive and time consuming(also labour consuming) infrastructure projects to prevent climate change damage. Again socialist countries can do this because they are not entirely bound by the whims of capitalism and the profit motive. There is no profit to be made here so most capitalist countries will not invest in climate change mitigation infrastructure until they are literally living through the disasters.

    Is it sufficient?

    Of course not if we hit 4 degrees C we all basicaly die. If we hit 2.5-3 very few parts of the world will be habitable no matter what geoengineering projects you can think of.
