How to make Variables under Settings an Environment variable in Robot Framework

I am implementing Robot Framework for one of the products, where i have come across a file config.yaml to read all the credentials used to login to DB servers. I want to know how to make Variables under settings section an Environment variable and pass the file from command line.

*** Settings ***

Library         RequestsLibrary
Library         Collections
Library         JSONLibrary
Library         OperatingSystem

Variables       ../../Config.yaml

I expect ../../Config.yaml to be declared as Environment Variable and Pass it through command line . i.e 

robot testfile.robot <path>/Config.yaml
