WASHINGTON, Dec 10 (Reuters) - U.S. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen will preside over a meeting of the Financial Stability Oversight Council on Dec. 17, with a climate-related risk committee and crypto-asset policy among the items on the agenda, the Treasury Department said on Friday.

It said "a vote on establishing a staff-level Climate-related Financial Risk Committee of the Council; and the transition from LIBOR" were among the items on the preliminary agenda of the meeting's open session.

"The preliminary agenda for the executive session includes forthcoming proposed SEC rulemakings; the crypto-asset policy sprint by the federal banking agencies; and the Council’s climate-related work," the Treasury said.
