Abstract: In this note we prove the a pointwise ergodic theorem for functions taking values in a separable complete CAT(0)-space, analogous to Lindenstrauss' pointwise ergodic theorem for real-valued integrable functions on a probability space subject to a probability-preserving action of an amenable l.c.s.c. group, where in the CAT(0) setting the role of ergodic averages is played by the barycentres of the empirical distributions of a CAT(0)-valued map along an orbit of the group action. The proof rests on an approximation argument and an appeal to that result for real-valued maps.
