ConTeXt does not seem to have LaTeX style environments. FYI, for the latter, I developed [1] a long time ago more advanced ones:
The environments admit hooks, i.e., code executed before and after the local group. The name can be omitted in the closing, which works also when using one environment to define a new. And a more compact syntax.
