The COSPAR iSWAT (international Space Weather Action Teams) initiative is a global hub for collaborations addressing challenges across the field of space weather. We present the COSPAR Space Weather Roadmap update for the iSWAT clusters H1+H2 covering interplanetary space and its characteristics, with focus on large-scale corotating and transient structures impacting Earth. We review the physical background of different solar wind streams together with coronal mass ejections and the considerable efforts that have been made to model these phenomena. We outline the limitations coming from observations with rather large uncertainties, making reliable predictions of the structures impacting Earth difficult. Moreover, in the wake of the upcoming solar cycle 25, the increased complexity of interplanetary space with enhanced solar activity poses a challenge to models. The current paper presents the efforts and progress achieved in recent years, identifies open questions, and gives an outlook for the next 5-10 years.
