Socialism so far has an absolutely terrible track record with environmental protection. Unless you’re just talking about being able to directly force societal change in general, in which case you’re arguing for eco-flavoured despotism.
Socialism doesn’t even promise environmental protection, rather being focused on worker rights and minimizing inequality.

Socialism has a better track record than capitalism, but either way, my point is that necessary systemic changes need socialism for them to happen. Socialism isn’t a promise, it’s a mode of production. Further, countries like the PRC are rapdily electrifying, at the top of solar panel production and infrastructure initiatives, and combatting desertification, that’s the power of a publicly driven economy.
