In this paper, we generalize monotone operators, their resolvents and the proximal point algorithm to complete CAT(0) spaces. We study some properties of monotone operators and their resolvents. We show that the sequence generated by the inexact proximal point algorithm $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E5}$-converges to a zero of the monotone operator in complete CAT(0) spaces. A strong convergence (convergence in metric) result is also presented. Finally, we consider two important special cases of monotone operators and we prove that they satisfy the range condition (see Section 4 for the definition), which guarantees the existence of the sequence generated by the proximal point algorithm.
