contents We prove the Riemannian curvature-dimension condition $\mathsf{RCD}(KN,N+1)$ for an $N$-warped product $B\times_f^N F$ over a one-dimensional base space $B$ with a Lipschitz function $f: B\rightarrow \mathbb R_{\geq 0}$, provided (1) $f$ is a $Kf$-concave function, (2) $f$ satisfies a sub-Neumann boundary condition $\frac{\partial f}{\partial n}\geq 0$ on $\partial B\backslash f^{-1}(0)$ and $F$ is a compact metric measure space satisfying (3) the condition $\mathsf{RCD}(K_F (N-1), N)$ with $K_F:= \sup_B \{ (Df)^2 + Kf^2\}$. The result is sharp, i.e. we show that (1), (2) and (3) are necessary for the validity of statement provided $K_F\geq 0$. In general, only a weaker statement is true. If $f$ is assumed to be $Kf$-affine, then the condition $\mathsf{RCD}(K N, N+1)$ for the $N$-warped product holds if and only if the condition $\mathsf{RCD}(K_F(N-1), N)$ holds for $F$ for any $K_F\in \mathbb R$.

We prove the Riemannian curvature-dimension condition $\mathsf{RCD}(KN,N+1)$ for an $N$-warped product $B\times_f^N F$ over a one-dimensional base space $B$ with a Lipschitz function $f: B\rightarrow \mathbb R_{\geq 0}$, provided (1) $f$ is a $Kf$-concave function, (2) $f$ satisfies a sub-Neumann boundary condition $\frac{\partial f}{\partial n}\geq 0$ on $\partial B\backslash f^{-1}(0)$ and $F$ is a compact metric measure space satisfying (3) the condition $\mathsf{RCD}(K_F (N-1), N)$ with $K_F:= \sup_B \{ (Df)^2 + Kf^2\}$. The result is sharp, i.e. we show that (1), (2) and (3) are necessary for the validity of statement provided $K_F\geq 0$. In general, only a weaker statement is true. If $f$ is assumed to be $Kf$-affine, then the condition $\mathsf{RCD}(K N, N+1)$ for the $N$-warped product holds if and only if the condition $\mathsf{RCD}(K_F(N-1), N)$ holds for $F$ for any $K_F\in \mathbb R$.
