I've managed to solve it like this:

public class Program
{
    public IConfiguration Configuration { get; set; }
    public Dictionary Paths { get; set; } 
    public Program(IApplicationEnvironment app,
           IRuntimeEnvironment runtime,
           IRuntimeOptions options)
    {
        Paths = new Dictionary();
        Configuration = new ConfigurationBuilder()
            .AddJsonFile(Path.Combine(app.ApplicationBasePath, "config.json"))
            .AddEnvironmentVariables()
            .Build();
    }

    public void Main(string[] args)
    {
        var pathKeys = Configuration.GetConfigurationSections("TargetFolderLocations");
        foreach (var pathItem in pathKeys)
        {
            var tmp = Configuration.Get($"TargetFolderLocations:{pathItem.Key}");
            Paths.Add(pathItem.Key, tmp);
        }

        return;
    }
