Abstract: Given any continuous, lower bounded and $kappa$-convex function $V$ on a metric measure space $(X,d,m)$ which is infinitesimally Hilbertian and satisfies some synthetic lower bound for the Ricci curvature in the sense of Lott-Sturm-Villani, we prove existence and uniqueness for the (downward) gradient flow for $V$. Moreover, we prove Lipschitz continuity of the flow w.r.t. the starting point $d(x_t,x{\text{'}}_t)le{e}^{-kappa,t}d(x_0,{x_0}^{\prime }).$
