We introduce a natural definition of $L^p$-convergence of maps, $p \ge 1$, in the case where the domain is a convergent sequence of measured metric space with respect to the measured Gromov-Hausdorff topology and the target is a Gromov-Hausdorff convergent sequence. With the $L^p$-convergence, we establish a theory of variational convergences. We prove that the Poincar\'e inequality with some additional condition implies the asymptotic compactness. The asymptotic compactness is equivalent to the Gromov-Hausdorff compactness of the energy-sublevel sets. Supposing that the targets are $\CAT(0)$-spaces, we study convergence of resolvents. As applications, we investigate the approximating energy functional over a measured metric space and convergence of energy functionals with a lower bound of Ricci curvature.
