Jeroen Ehlen: Giving the Ocean and the Next Generation a Voice

An ocean advocate who believes protecting the planet starts with transparency, education, and respect for future generations.

Based in Sweden, Jeroen is an environmental and climate activist who believes real change starts early. He spends time in schools, helping children understand how the ocean works and why it matters. But he doesn’t teach through fear. He teaches through connection explaining, listening, and inspiring young minds to care about the world around them.

Jeroen is also deeply involved in hands-on environmental action. He supports and collaborates with organizations such as UOCEAN 2050 and is a member of Our World 2050, where his focus is clear: ensuring young people have a meaningful voice in shaping a sustainable future. From beach clean-ups to ocean conservation efforts, his work reflects a long-term commitment to protecting life below water and beyond.

Music plays a role in Jeroen’s outreach, but it is not the center it is a bridge. By singing with children, he creates moments of joy and reflection, helping them connect emotionally to the idea of protecting their future. His latest song has yet to be released, and all proceeds from his music are donated, supported by a written commitment to continue giving back.

Grateful for a stable home, a fulfilling career, and a healthy family, Jeroen often speaks about values that guide his life and work. Speaking with Jeroen, he says, “I believe ego and greed are not things we are born with, and that honesty and transparency are essential if humanity is to survive and thrive as species.”

That belief shows in everything he does. His activism is not driven by recognition, but by responsibility. He sees education, truth, and openness as tools for real progress especially in a time when the planet needs long-term thinking more than ever.

Jeroen shared with us links to a documentary and to his music both deeply meaningful to him and closely connected to his mission. They offer insight into the issues he cares about and the future he hopes to help shape. The links are below, Watch and be motivated.
