We have enough nukes to sterilise large areas of the planet.
But most of them are tac nukes, and they don't come with the support hardware needed to deliver them to large areas of the planet.
Reality is that Europe, Russia, the US, the Middle East, India, Pakistan, and parts of the Far East could have a really bad time.
But most of South America and Africa would likely survive with only economic and political damage rather than physical destruction.
