Env variables readable by an application

I have an application that executes a user-defined script. The application sets certain environment variables that the script uses to determine which phase it is in.

I want to be able to set other env variables to set other conditions usable by the script.

Is there a way to do this? In other words, is there a way to set env variables that ANY user and ANY application can see?

Thanks in advance,
- Travis.
