How to get current environment name?

In GitHub Workflow I'm looking for a build-in variable which would contain the name of the current GH deployment environment (e.g. "staging") or be blank/unset if no such thing exist.

Since there doesn't seem to be a build-in variable for it (perhaps I'm overlooking it?), is there another way that this value can be obtained from within a pipeline step?

Here's an example workflow:

jobs:

  job1:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: uat

    steps:
      - name: 'Print name'
        run: echo "GH deployment env : ..."

  job2:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: staging

    steps:
      - name: 'Print name'
        run: echo "GH deployment env : ..."

I've tried different ways.

The following two worked well for me:

Input params

name: Deploy

on:
  workflow_dispatch:
    inputs:
      environment:
        description: 'Environment to deploy to'
        required: false
        default: 'QA'
        type: choice
        options:
          - QA
          - STAGING
          - PROD

env:
  DEPLOY_ENV: ${{ inputs.environment }}

jobs:
  Deploy:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    environment: ${{ inputs.environment }}
    
    steps:
      - name: Deploy
        run: echo "Deploying to $DEPLOY_ENV 🚀"

The Matrix strategy

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/learn-github-actions/contexts#matrix-context

name: GitHub Actions Demo
run-name: ${{ github.actor }} is testing out GitHub Actions 🚀
on: 
  push:
  workflow_dispatch:

jobs:
  Deploy-DEV:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        environment: [DEV]    

    steps:            
      - run: echo "💡 Deploying to ${{ matrix.environment }}."            

  Deploy-QA:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    needs: Deploy-DEV
    strategy:
      matrix:
        environment: [QA]    

    steps:            
      - run: echo "💡 Deploying to ${{ matrix.environment }}."
