GitHub Actions workflow environment variables on organization level

Question

Is it possible to have environment variables on organization level for GitHub Actions? So something like organization secrets but just with environment variables.

Since we have a lot of repositories in our organization I would like to keep the runner version in a global environment variable and so when we decide to update the runner version we can simply change it in the environment settings instead of every workflow file.

You can put the value into the GitHub organization secret.
