A Personal Vision

for Climate Resilience

Dear Fellow Climate Champions,

When I founded Nū Data in 2024, I was driven by a simple but powerful realization: data without context cannot drive the urgent change our world needs. After years researching sustainability challenges across food value chains, I saw firsthand how organizations struggled to translate mountains of climate data into meaningful action.

The problem wasn't a lack of information—it was that this information existed in silos, stripped of the context needed to make it truly useful. Climate data disconnected from social impacts. Environmental metrics separated from economic realities. Scientific insights isolated from operational constraints.

I envisioned a different approach: what if we could create a comprehensive digital representation of these complex systems? What if we could put climate data back into context and make it immediately actionable? What if we could democratize access to these insights, ensuring organizations of all sizes could build resilience into their operations?

That vision became Nū Data.

Our journey began with a focus on food systems—the sector I knew best, and one facing profound climate challenges. The more we developed our framework, the more I recognized its potential beyond our company's direct reach. The urgency of the climate crisis demands collective action and shared solutions.

This recognition led to our decision to open-source our framework. By making our methodology freely available, we hope to spark innovation, enable collaboration, and accelerate climate action far beyond what any single company could achieve alone.

Today, I invite you to join us in this mission. Whether you're implementing our framework, contributing to its development, or simply sharing our vision for data-driven climate resilience, you're helping build a regenerative future where both people and planet can thrive.

The challenges we face are immense, but so is our collective capacity for innovation and progress. Together, we can transform how organizations understand and address climate risks, creating more resilient systems that work in harmony with our planet's boundaries.

With hope and determination,

Nhi Corcoran
Founder, Nū Data

My Journey

My path to founding Nū Data was shaped by witnessing firsthand the vulnerability of global food systems to climate change. With a background spanning sustainability research, data science, and supply chain management, I spent 2024 validating and refining the concept that would become our digital twin technology.

What began as a personal mission to make climate data more accessible and actionable has evolved into a collaborative effort to transform how organizations approach climate resilience. The decision to open-source our framework reflects my deep belief that the innovations needed to address our climate crisis should be available to all.

Why Open Source?

I chose to open-source the Nū Data framework because I believe that proprietary approaches to climate solutions ultimately limit our collective impact. By sharing our methodology freely, we can:

  • Accelerate adoption of climate resilience strategies

  • Enable continuous improvement through community contributions

  • Ensure that smaller organizations aren't left behind

  • Create a foundation for complementary innovations

This approach aligns with our core mission of democratizing sustainability, making powerful climate tools accessible regardless of an organization's size or resources.
