Abstract: The aim of the present paper is to bridge the gap between the Bakry-'{E}mery and the Lott-Sturm-Villani approaches to provide synthetic and abstract notions of lower Ricci curvature bounds. We start from a strongly local Dirichlet form $mathcalE$ admitting a Carr'{e} du champ $Gamma$ in a Polish measure space $(X,mathfrakm)$ and a canonical distance ${mathsfd}_{mathcalE}$ that induces the original topology of $X$. We first characterize the distinguished class of Riemannian Energy measure spaces, where $mathcalE$ coincides with the Cheeger energy induced by ${mathsfd}_{mathcalE}$ and where every function $f$ with $Gamma(f)le1$ admits a continuous representative. In such a class, we show that if $mathcalE$ satisfies a suitable weak form of the Bakry-'{E}mery curvature dimension condition $mathrmBE(K,infty)$ then the metric measure space $(X,mathsfd,mathfrakm)$ satisfies the Riemannian Ricci curvature bound $mathrmRCD(K,infty)$ according to [Duke Math. J. 163 (2014) 1405-1490], thus showing the equivalence of the two notions. Two applications are then proved: the tensorization property for Riemannian Energy spaces satisfying the Bakry-'{E}mery $mathrmBE(K,N)$ condition (and thus the corresponding one for $mathrmRCD(K,infty)$ spaces without assuming nonbranching) and the stability of $mathrmBE(K,N)$ with respect to Sturm-Gromov-Hausdorff convergence.
