White-light and radio observations of solar eruptions obtained by SOHO and Wind, respectively have helped us understand the space weather aspect of coronal mass ejections (CMEs). From space weather point of CMEs are important in two respects: (1) CMEs departing from close to the disk center are important for producing geomagnetic storms, so it is important to understand how they evolve and when they arrive at the earth, (2) Fast and wide CMEs drive shocks and hence accelerate solar energetic particles detected in situ or via the long wavelength type II radio bursts. The SEP-associated CMEs can depart from the Sun from any longitude, but western events are more geoeffective. Recent results show that only 1-2 percent of all CMEs are important for space weather purposes. In this paper, we review the recent results obtained on these two populations of CMEs in comparison with the general population.
