For every integer n ≥ 2 and κ ∈ ℝ, we prove that a complete separable metric space is an n -dimensional Alexandrov space of curvature at least κ if and only if, with reference measure $\mathcal H^n$, it is a full-support $\mathrm{RCD}((n-1)\kappa,n)$ space whose distributional sectional curvature is at least κ in Gigli's original global test classes. This resolves Gigli's characterization conjecture in dimensions at least two.
