This 2024 UNICEF publication presents initial findings from a project on how child rights impact assessments (CRIAs) can be applied to digital business activities. It starts from the responsibility of businesses, under the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the Children’s Rights and Business Principles, to identify, assess and address risks to children’s rights. The publication reviews the existing CRIA landscape and identifies the need for stronger, more consistent approaches that can respond to rapidly evolving digital technologies and business models. It forms part of UNICEF’s work to develop global guidance for companies on assessing and managing their impacts on children in the digital environment.
