Let $K\in\mathbb R$ and let $N\in(1,\infty]$. For every complete separable metric space $(Y,r)$ and every $y_0\in Y$, let $\mathcal P_2(Y)$ denote the set of Borel probability measures $\nu$ on $Y$ such that
This condition is independent of the chosen point $y_0$. Let $W_2$ denote the quadratic Wasserstein distance induced by the metric in question. For a locally finite Borel measure $q$ on $Y$, define $\operatorname{Ent}_q:\mathcal P_2(Y)\to(-\infty,+\infty]$ by
when $\nu=\sigma q+\nu^\perp$ is the Lebesgue decomposition and the integral is finite, and set $\operatorname{Ent}_q(\nu)=+\infty$ otherwise. If $N<\infty$, define $\mathcal U_{N,q}:\mathcal P_2(Y)\to[-\infty,0]$ by
for the same Lebesgue decomposition; the singular part contributes no density term. Let $\tau_{K,N}^{(t)}:[0,\infty)\to[0,\infty]$ denote the standard Lott-Sturm-Villani distortion coefficient.

For each $j\in\mathbb N$, let $(X_j,d_j,m_j,x_j)$ be a pointed complete separable geodesic metric measure space such that $m_j$ is a locally finite Borel measure with full support and
Assume that each $(X_j,d_j,m_j)$ satisfies the weak Lott-Sturm-Villani curvature-dimension condition $CD(K,N)$: for every compactly supported pair $\mu_0,\mu_1\in\mathcal P_2(X_j)$ with $\mu_0\ll m_j$ and $\mu_1\ll m_j$, there is an optimal dynamical plan on constant-speed geodesics joining them such that the corresponding Lott-Sturm-Villani entropy convexity inequality holds, namely the $K$-convex Boltzmann entropy inequality when $N=\infty$ and the integrated distortion-coefficient inequality involving $\mathcal U_{N,m_j}$ and $\tau_{K,N}^{(t)}$ when $N<\infty$.

Let $(X,d,m,x)$ be a pointed complete separable geodesic metric measure space such that $m$ is a locally finite Borel measure with full support. Assume that
in pointed measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence in the following localized measured sense: for every $R\in(0,\infty)$ there are a proper metric space $(Z_R,\delta_R)$ and isometric embeddings
and these pushed-forward measures are tight on bounded balls. Then the limit metric measure space $(X,d,m)$ satisfies the weak Lott-Sturm-Villani curvature-dimension condition $CD(K,N)$.
